NBA-SPIDEL Sets Up Electoral Committee, As Ananaba Set To Bow Out

The Nigerian Bar Association Section on Public Interest and
Development Law (NBA-SPIDEL) has set up a 9-member Electoral
Committee to midwife the next leadership for the section.

A statement by the NBA-SPIDEL Council Chairman, Prof. Paul
Ananaba SAN named fiery human rights activist and current NBA First
Vice President, Mr. John Aikpokpo-Martins as the Chairman of the
Electoral Committee. Mr. Chisom Onuoha is to act as the committee’s
Secretary.

Other members of the committee are Funmi Adeogun Esquire,
Godspower Edoga Esquire, Emeka Eze Esquire, Daniel Asomeji Esquire,
Rabiu Ayuba Esquire, Akintayo Akinyemi Esquire, and Umoru Jibrin
Esquire.

The committee has the mandate to conduct election of the section
leading to the emergence of a new team to spearhead the activities
of the resurgent section.

The election may draw the curtains on the forthcoming Annual
Conference of the section.

It is recalled that Prof. Ananaba has been instrumental in
reviving the then moribund section after it became comatose for
several years. The section – which is one of only three NBA
sections – organisaed the much-talked-about Annual Conference at
Aba, Abia State in November 2019.

The Ananaba Administration is on the verge of holding another
landmark annual conference in Ibadan, Oyo State. Given the array of
famous speakers that have confirmed participation at the conference
and the strong support of key stakeholders, the conference promises
to be widely attended and discussed for years to come. It is the
first NBA-led in-person conference for almost two years since the
outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.

The conference has as its theme, “The role of public interest in
governance in Nigeria.” Registration for the conference opened
early in the year at https://nbaspidel.ng/nba-spidel-conference/,
while early bird registration closes on May 15, 2021.
