The call for a more member-focused Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has once again been emphasized by Lateef Omoyemi Akangbe, SAN, who insists that the Association must go beyond collecting dues and contributions from its members to giving back in tangible ways. According to him, the NBA’s true strength lies in its numbers, and this collective power should be harnessed to secure better opportunities, tools, and welfare for lawyers across the country.
Akangbe stressed that real leadership is not measured by what it extracts from its members, but by the value it returns to them. He noted that a Bar that invests in its members will be better positioned to achieve its broader goals and meet the aspirations of the legal profession. His message underscores the need for transformative leadership that elevates the welfare of every lawyer, ensuring that the practice of law remains not only sustainable but also rewarding.
Read full statement below;
The Nigerian Bar Association is only as strong as its members—and our strength lies in our numbers. With that strength, the NBA must do more than collect; it must give back.
We should leverage our collective power to negotiate better opportunities, smarter tools, and far better welfare that make the practice of law not just sustainable, but rewarding.
True leadership is measured not by what it takes from its members, but by what it returns to them. Because a Bar that invests in its own is better placed to satisfy the collective aspirations of its members.
