As the campaign for the 2026 Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) National Elections enters its closing stages, Dr. Rapulu Nduka, candidate for the office of General Secretary, has made a final appeal to members of the Bar, urging them to consider his track record, competence, and vision before casting their votes.
In his message to colleagues, Nduka noted that throughout the campaign, he had consistently presented his vision for a smarter, more efficient, and member-focused NBA Secretariat, alongside a 10-point agenda aimed at improving service delivery, embracing technology, strengthening accountability, and ensuring greater responsiveness to members’ needs.
He encouraged lawyers to carefully review his Curriculum Vitae and Manifesto, describing them as comprehensive documents outlining his experience, record of service, and practical roadmap for transforming the Secretariat into an institution that works effectively for every member of the Association.
According to Nduka, the forthcoming election presents an opportunity for members to choose leadership based on proven capacity, integrity, and practical solutions rather than promises alone.
