Nigerian President Congratulates Newly Elected NBA President
In a statement on Monday, Nigerian President Bola Tinubu congratulated Mr. T, SAN, on his election as the President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA). Tinubu also congratulated all newly elected officers of the NBA and members of the association on a successful conduct of the elections.
The President commended the outgoing NBA President, Mr. Yakubu Maikyau (SAN), on his stewardship of Nigeria’s foremost legal association. He assured the new leadership of the NBA of his administration’s support in addressing challenges affecting the association and the legal profession in general.
The election saw Osigwe, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), emerge as the winner. With a legal career spanning 25 years since he was called to the Bar in 1999, Osigwe is set to become the 32nd NBA president when Maikyau completes his two-year tenure in August.
As the new leader of the NBA, Osigwe is expected to face several challenges, including addressing the concerns of lawyers and improving the overall administration of justice in Nigeria. The NBA plays a crucial role in promoting the rule of law and protecting the rights of citizens in the country.
Tinubu’s congratulatory message is seen as a positive step towards strengthening the relationship between the NBA and the government. The NBA has been a vocal advocate for reforms in the judiciary and has played a key role in shaping the country’s legal landscape.
The election of Osigwe as the new NBA president is a significant development in the legal community in Nigeria, and it is expected to have far-reaching implications for the country’s justice system.
