The Chairman, Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Zaria Branch,
Prof. Augustine R. Agom, has reiterated the readiness of the
association to collaborate with the Nigerian Institute of Transport
Technology (NITT), Zaria, on capacity building, public advocacy and
other judicial matters.
Prof. Agom disclosed this when he led his executive members of
the Association on a courtesy visit to the Director General and
Chief Executive of NITT, Dr. Aminu Musa Yusuf.
The legal luminary who decried the “little advocacy about what
the organisation can do for Nigeria” asserted that “if there is
proper funding and recognition, going by the mandate and enabling
law, this institution has so much to contribute to the Nigerian
society and economy”.
Prof. Agom further observed that there was a global inclination
towards alternative dispute resolution (ADR) and urged NITT to take
advantage of it.
He appealed to NITT Management to minimize cost of litigations
by employing the services of Zaria based law firms which he said
have the competence to handle any legal issues.
In his response, the Director General of NITT, Dr. Aminu Musa
Yusuf, who acknowledged the inter-disciplinary nature of the legal
profession, expressed the institute’s willingness to collaborate
with the Zaria Branch of the NBA.
Dr. Yusuf, noted that the collaboration would become even more
pertinent considering NITT’s quest to domesticate the Chartered
Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT) in Nigeria.
This the NITT boss explained would help professionalize the
transport industry and make it more efficient.
He expressed optimism that the bill would be passed into law
thus riding the industry of quacks.
Dr. Yusuf,who commended NBA, Zaria Branch, for their legitimate
interest in the institute,said NITT’s doors were open for
constructive and progressive partnership for the mutual benefit of
the two organizations.
