Constitution empowers NEC to determine when the AGC and the AGM may
hold.

Furthermore, the Committee proposed that the 2019 Conference
Fees be adopted for the 2021 Conference.

According to the Chairman of the Committee, the strike of
Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria, JUSUN, and the Conferences of the
various Sections of the NBA which held sequentially have had and
are having a pinch on members’ revenue, thus the need to adopt the
2019 Conference Fees.

The NBA president, Olumide Akpata, in his response noted that
these are not normal times. He urged NEC members to grant approval
to the TCCP on the basis of its proposals.

Akpata also recommended that as a means of bringing an end to
the lingering crisis, the Abuja NBA Branch should be split into
two.
