Joyce Oduah, FICMC has served as the National Treasurer of the NBA between 2012 and 2014. She introduced the NBA Bar Code and Customized Teller for payment of the Bar Practicing Fees (“BPF”).

For example NBA Lagos with Code 058 got the sum of N6,050,000.00 in 2013 from the National instead of the sum of N400,000.00. She has served as a member of the National Executive Committee (NEC) under Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN (2008-2010), Okechukwu Wali, SAN (2012 – 2014), Augustine Alegeh, SAN (2014 – 2016) and Abubakar Balarabe Mahmoud, SAN (2016–2018).
