Prof. Ernest Ojukwu Lauds NBA President’s Responsive Leadership

Prof Ernest Ojukwu, SAN has welcomed the resolution of the
difficulties that hitherto plagued the registration process of the
forthcoming Annual General Conference (AGC) of the Nigerian Bar
Association (NBA) scheduled for August 2017 in Lagos.

It will be recalled that several complaints had trailed the
on-going registration process which saw hundreds of Lawyers,
particularly the Young Lawyers, unable to register due to spaces
being “sold out”. Prof. Ojukwu was one of the few Bar Leaders that
called on the NBA President, A. B. Mahmoud, SAN and the Prof.
Konyisola Ajayi led Technical Committee on Conference Planning
(TCCP) to resolve the outstanding issues in the overall interest of
the future of the legal profession in Nigeria.

Following calls, the NBA President held an emergency meeting
with the TCCP and the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) which
resulted in the resolution of the various glitches and ensured the
reopening of the Conference Portal for all intending delegates for
the Conference, without limitation.

Prof Ojukwu, SAN popularly addressed as Teacher, is therefore
glad to receive news that the Conference Portal has indeed been
re-opened and that hitch-free registration has resumed. Prof Ojukwu
therefore commends the NBA President A. B. Mahmoud, SAN for
demonstrating responsive leadership while also calling on intending
delegates, most especially, the Young Lawyers to take advantage of
the understandably limited resources and proceed to complete their
registration.

Teacher once again solicits the support of all Lawyers for the
work of the Planning Committee and looks forward to a wonderful AGC
in August.
