LASTLY, we urge all interested members of the legal profession and the judiciary to attend this year’s Conference. The chosen theme of the Conference; ” POST-ELECTION NIGERIA: THE JUDICIARY IN THE EYE OF THE STORM” is deliberate in the light of the present mood of our dear country, post National elections. As public interest advocates, ours is to constantly remind the judiciary of the daunting task ahead, need to do substantial justice and to help set the tone as watchdogs of justice delivery.
We have lined up arrays of firebrand activists, renowned human rights crusaders, public interest advocates, rule of law defenders and other key players and stakeholders in the project NIGERIA at this conference as speakers and resource persons to deliver inspiring, thought-provoking, rewarding, educative and motivating session. Other networking activities and social events are also lined up for a truly refreshing conference experience. It promises to be one of the best in the annals of NBA Sections’Conferences.
