With great delight, I welcome all distinguished delegates to this year’s NBA Annual General Conference holding in Portharcourt, which commenced on Friday 22nd of October, 2021.
This year’s Theme “Taking the Lead” is quite apt and ripe for discussions and evaluation at this present time where it is demanding on Legal Practitioners to lead by example and be at the frontline of leadership.
I must commend the present executives of our dear Association for taking the lead in various spheres, especially in the area of capacity building for members of the Association.
I must also salute the very dynamic Governor of Rivers State, Governor Nyesom Wike (Life Bencher), for his sterling performance resulting in the unprecedented infrastructural development projects in the State, which has made it possible for Portharcourt to host the largest gathering of lawyers anywhere in the world.
I look forward to the exhilarating activities, the intellectual discussions and impactful experience yet to unfold during the conference. I encourage us all to prepare to learn, network and have fun and most importantly take the lead and leave a positive impact on others.
Adesina Adegbite, FICMC
Past National Welfare Secretary, NBA
