Nigeria with a unique
opportunity to interrogate
issues affecting the profession
and society and to continue to
seek innovative ways of
advancing justice delivery and
providing value-adding legal
solutions to their clients and
the environment within which
members of the Association
operate.
“The NBA Conference is
the largest gathering of
business, political and thought
leaders on the African
continent and will congregate
thought leaders in the areas of
justice delivery, technology,
the economy, politics, judicial
reforms, and the rule of law.
“This year’s Conference is anticipated to have approximately 13,000
delegates from the Bar and
Bench in attendance.
“Also expected are business persons
from different sectors,
technocrats as well as political
leaders from within and
outside Nigeria.
“The theme for this year’s
Conference is “Bold
Transitions”. The core
objective of the 2022 NBA
Conference will be to host a
world class conference, with in-
depth discourse on critical
issues affecting the legal
profession and the country
in general, facilitated by the most eminently qualified
resource persons.
“Discussions at the Conference will focus on the need for the legal
profession to engage boldly
with global evolutionary trends
and will comprise over 30
technical sessions where
experts will lead conversations
primarily aimed at envisioning
the future of the legal
profession within the
context of a rapidly
transiting world and
business environment,
triggered in part, by the
revolutionary exploits and
expressions of technology and
the historic coronavirus
pandemic.
“Sir, all around us are
instances of transition in the
different spheres of life.
Indeed the 2022 NBA
Conference will precede the
2023 general elections that will
birth a democratic transition
from one democratically
elected President to another,
for the fifth time in the 4th
Republic”
