I HAVE BEEN CLEARED TO RUN FOR THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE NIGERIAN BAR ASSOCIATION

There are moments in every professional’s journey that call for quiet reflection.

Yesterday, the Electoral Committee of the Nigerian Bar Association (ECNBA) published the final list of qualified candidates for the 2026 NBA General Elections, and i am listed as a candidate for the office of President.

Over the years, I have remained deeply committed to the ideals of service, institutional integrity, and the continued advancement of our profession. The conversations across branches, law weeks, conferences, and engagements with colleagues nationwide have only reinforced my belief that the Nigerian Bar Association must continue to evolve with vision, inclusion, and responsibility.

I remain grateful for the encouragement, goodwill, and support consistently shown to me by colleagues across the country.

The journey of service continues.
