NBA 5th CJR Conference: Registration commences at noon today

The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Criminal Justice
Reform Committee has announced that registration for the conference
will commence at 12 noon today.

Some conferees have started trooping into the Asaba Convention
Centre as early as 8 o’clock today to beat the expected rush for
registration.

Many conferees arrived Asaba, the Delta State capital yesterday
in readiness for the confab.

Several advance teams for key speakers and dignitaries have also
hit town in readiness for the arrival of their principals.

The Asaba Convention Centre is already wearing a new look, given
the massive facelift commissioned by the Delta State Government
which has vowed not to leave any stone unturned to ensure that
conferees have a memorable experience.

The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Criminal Justice Reform
Committee led by Chief Arthur Obi Okafor SAN yesterday held a
meeting with the Local Organising Committee to put finishing
touches to the conference plans. The meeting ended around
midnight.

The committee had last Sunday held a similar meeting with the
Secretary to the Delta State Government to ensure a hitch-free
summit.

Several air-conditioned protocol buses provided by the Delta
State Government and manned by escort personnel left Asaba this
morning enroute Benin to convey conferees arriving via Benin
Airport. The buses will return to Benin to ferry conferees arriving
with the evening flights.

There are strong indications that, unlike several conferences,
participants will not have challenges accessing key conference
materials. The committee has already taken custody of conference
bags among other items.
