Newly inaugurated President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Yakubu Maikyau, SAN, has said Nigerians have been terrorised, traumaties and their psyche pauperised.
Speaking during his inaugural address as President of the NBA, Maikyau said legal professionals must speak against terror and hardship in the land.
“Let me emphasise this point in this way; Nigeria and Nigerians have been so terrorised, traumatised and their psyche pauperised by our present-day realities,” Maikyau said. “The dignity of the lives of Nigerians have come under severe attack by these and many factors.
“What is left of this country, which cannot be emasculated in my humble view, is the voice of the legal profession; a voice that derives its life and strength from the person of justice and which cannot be caged or killed.
“This voice must speak against the terror in the land and the hardship that has taken over the lives of our people. This is the charge that my administration undertakes to spearhead.”

THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF THE 31ST PRESIDENT OF THE
My Education
NIGERIAN BAR ASSOCIATION, MR. YAKUBU CHONOKO
MAIKYAU, SAN, AT THE INAUGURATION OF THE 2022 – 2024
NATIONAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Protocols
INTRODUCTION
That I, Yakubu Chonoko Maikyau, SAN is today, the 26th of August 2022,
standing before you as the 31st President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA);
the prestigious association of the only noble profession, the largest, most vibrant
and most influential Bar on the continent of Africa, is simply a function of the
grace of God Almighty. To HIM ALONE be all the glory, the honour and the
praise.
Family background
My late parents, Lt. Maikyau Chonoko and Mrs. Titi Maikyau, had no formal
education. Had my father not joined the Army, my late sister, Amina Maikyau,
and I may not have gone to school. I can recall my father saying to me as he sent
me off to the School of Basic Studies, Zaria in 1984, “any day you go hungry,
come home, whatever we have we will share”. My mother, amongst other trades,
sold firewood to support my education and as an undergraduate, I helped to split
the firewood for sale. My late sister on her part, after her National Certificate of
Education (NCE) suspended further education and took up a teaching
appointment to support the family and my education. She only went back to
school to graduate in 1994 – four (4) years after my call to the Bar in 1990. My
father passed on the 28th of January 1989, while I was in my final year in ABU
Zaria; my sister passed on the 10th of January 2005 and my mother, on the 1
st of
December 2019.
It was as though they all came into the world just for me as I do not have a
recollection of anything they did for themselves, but from the time I could
recognise and recall events, I can only remember all they did to raise and support
this boy, Yakubu. They were selfless towards me as they individually and
collectively invested in me. My father did not witness my graduation and eventual
call to the Bar and my sister did not live to see me become a Senior Advocate of
Nigeria. Coincidentally, today is the 11th anniversary of my swearing in as Senor
Advocate of Nigeria, which only my mum was privileged to witness on the 26th
of August 2011. I pay special tribute to all of them for their love, sacrifices,
support, prayers and for a godly upbringing. I am sure that, to the glory of God,
they look from heaven, proud of their boy and grateful for the privilege of being
part of the journey that culminated in this inauguration ceremony.
I studied Physics, Chemistry and Biology in my A-level classes at the School of
Basic Studies, Zaria. Never in my wildest thoughts or imaginations did I
contemplate studying Law. I gained admission to study Veterinary Medicine at
the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria. About three weeks into my
resumption in Veterinary Medicine, I was informed by my friend, Hassan
Danjuma, that he saw my name on the admissions list for the Faculty of Law. He
literally dragged me to the old Senate Building and pointed out my name on the
list. I saw it and was completely taken aback and unsuccessfully tried so hard to
convince Hassan that this was in fact news to me. I later confirmed that my name
was not only on the master list but also in the list at the Faculty of Law. Thereafter,
I travelled to Sokoto to consult with my big brother figure, Mr. J. S. Magaji of
blessed memory, who said to me, “if you can cope, Law is a more lucrative
course than Veterinary Medicine”. Upon return to Zaria, I withdrew from
Veterinary Medicine and re-registered as a law student with the encouragement
of the then Dean of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Professor Daniel Saror, who
also promised to defer my admission to the following year, so that if I could not
cope with Law, I could return to continue with Veterinary Medicine.
I owe a debt of gratitude to Professor Daniel Saror, late Mr. J. S. Magaji and
late Senator Danladi Bamayi, my first employer and principal in chambers, with
whom I worked for almost 13 years. Senator Bamayi’s sense of duty, discipline,
honesty, respect for values, ethics, and standards helped in no small measure in
moulding me into who I am, as a legal practitioner, a husband and a father. I know
Professor Daniel Saror (who would have been here in person – he will be 81 in
October), the late Mr. J. S. Magaji and the late Senator Danladi Bamayi, are proud
of their advice and mentorship and are equally grateful to God to have had a hand
in what turned out to be the nurturing of the seed of greatness God deposited in
me.
That we are here today, is more than enough proof that I never went back to study
Veterinary Medicine. That I can rise to the peak of the profession of law, into
which I was admitted by sheer providence (for I did not apply to study Law; I still
do not know how my name appeared on that list), attain the rank of a Senior
Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and now the 31st President of the NBA, are all the
work of the Almighty. Is there any impossibility with God? Certainly NONE!
I give God Almighty, the Alpha and Omega, Omnipresent, Omniscience,
Omnipotent, the ONLY WISE ONE, the ONE in whom the essence of His
existence is in Himself, all the glory, honour and praise.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I must recognise the contribution and support of my partners and colleagues at Y.
C. Maikyau and Co. This project afforded me the opportunity to see a side of
them that I probably may never have experienced. Their commitment, passion and sacrifices towards this aspiration, have been humbling. They have also
assured me that I do not have to worry about the office for the 2 years that I will
be steering the affairs of the Bar. My partners; Raphael Terfa, Nwabueze Obasiobi, Mohammed Adelodun; I am grateful for the support. I am also grateful to my
Associates and staff at the office for their tremendous support.
My campaign team was simply awesome. The Director General of the campaign,
Mr. Yemi Akangbe, who earned himself the aliases of “capacity”, “energy”,
“structural”, “intellectual”, “accommodating”, to mention just a few, drove the
process well. We saw the interplay of these attributes during the campaign. Mazi
Afam Osigwe SAN, “the Golden Boy”, was exceptional in his support; he
committed his time, resources and experience to support this aspiration. I am
grateful to my Nominators, Chief R. A. Lawal Rabana (my egbon) past NBA
General Secretary and Life Bencher and Mr. Aminu Sani Gadanya (the fine boy
from Kano), who found me worthy of nomination, for their trust and support. I
am grateful to my friend and call-mate, Sopriye Long Williams for deploying
his wealth of experience as Deputy Director General of the Campaign alongside
my younger brother, Paul Daudu. My profound gratitude goes to the rest of the
Campaign team: Murtala Kankiya; Sammie Somiari, SAN; Chinaecherem

Nigerian Law School and a host of other friends and colleagues too numerous to
mention. I must however not fail to mention Mr. Kaka Lawan Shehu, the
Honourable Attorney General, Borno State for his unflinching support throughout
this election. Similarly, Yunus Ustaz, SAN; E. Y. Kura, SAN; Abdullahi
Yahaya, SAN; Abdul Mohammed, SAN; Chief (Mrs.) A. J. Offiah, SAN; Mr.
A. I. Ani, SAN; Offornze D. Amucheazi, SAN; Abdulwasiu Alfa; Zibril

throughout the process. I am also grateful to our media, technical, publicity and
content creation teams – they worked tirelessly behind the scenes and drove our
campaign organization from the shadows – I am truly blessed to have had such a
formidable team behind me.
So many respected friends and senior colleagues took the time to offer their
personal endorsements of my candidacy. Words cannot convey the depth of mygratitude or the value I ascribe to every one of these endorsements. Mama
Hairat Ade-Balogun, OON; Chief Anthony Mogboh, SAN; Anthony Mogboh, Jnr, SAN; President Paul Usoro, SAN; Mrs. Funke Adekoya, SAN;
Prince Lateef Fagbemi, SAN; Mallam Yusuf Ali, SAN; Mr. Adebayo

Tochukwu Maduka, SAN; Chukwuka Ikuazom, SAN; Abdul Mohammed,
SAN; Rafiu Kolawole; Mr. Dayo Idowu; Orji Agwu Uka; and a host of our
younger colleagues who flooded the airwaves with a barrage of their
endorsements which essentially translated into the victory we celebrate today.
Permit me again to extend my profound gratitude to:
(i) President Olumide Akpata for the privilege to serve under his
administration. This afforded me the opportunity to interact with members
of the National Executive Committee, with whom I enjoyed a wonderful
working relationship. I commend you again for the reformative leadership
you brought to the NBA, the laudable projects which my administration is
committed to build upon and for putting in place the process that led to the
successful hand over of the baton to my administration.
(ii) The ECNBA under the leadership of Mr. Richard Ayodele Akintunde
SAN for delivering free, fair and seamless elections culminating in the
emergence of this administration of the NBA.
(iii) Past Presidents of the NBA particularly Dame Priscilla Kuye, T. J. O.
Okpoko, SAN, Chief Wole Olanipekun, SAN, Olisa Agbakoba, SAN,
His Excellency, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, Chief O. C. J. Okocha,
SAN, Chief Bayo Ojoh, SAN, J. B. Daudu, SAN, Okey Wali, SAN,
Austin Alegeh, SAN, A. B. Mahmoud, SAN and Paul Usoro, SAN, for
leaving a legacy that we can build on.
(iv) Candidates who ran for one office or the other – In all our travels across the
country, we did not record any incident. We moved around, consulted,
campaigned, participated in the election in good health and witnessed the
election to the end. Regardless of the outcome of the elections, we should
be reminded there is no amount of money anyone could have paid to enjoy
God’s mercies and protection as we travelled. I will be calling on you to
work with us for the greater good of the legal profession in Nigeria; the
very reason we all got into the race in the first place.
A few weeks after the election and precisely on the 10th of August 2022, I received
shocking news of the deaths of two of our colleagues who were very close to meand to many of you; Mr. Nasiru Dangiri, SAN and Mr. Ogaga Emoghwanre,
who was the Secretary of the NBA Welfare Committee which I chaired. Ogaga
was also the Publicity Secretary of NBA, Benin Branch and a Personal Assistant
to President Olumide Akpata. He contested for the office of National Publicity
Secretary but lost to Habeeb Lawal. He was gracious in defeat, reached out to the
winner and joined all of us in the celebrations that followed. These unfortunate
losses are stark reminders of the transience of life and the mercies of God in our
lives. May their souls and those of our other departed colleagues, rest in peace
and may the Almighty God comfort their families and the NBA, Amen.
It is on this note that I call upon my big brother Chief J. K. Gadzama, SAN,
OFR, MFR to continue to be gracious in accepting the result of this election. I
equally extend a hand of fellowship and invite him, to join hands with the current
administration to deliver on the mandate of the Nigerian Bar Association to its
members and the Nigerian public. I must appreciate the sportsmanship displayed
by the DG of JK-Gadzama Campaign Team. Chief C. P. Oli, who called to
congratulate me. I similarly thank my big brothers, Mr. K. T. Turaki, SAN and
Mr. Mela Nunghe, SAN, (both close associates of Chief J. K. Gadzama) who
individually called to congratulate me and pledged their continued support for the
Bar under my administration. I am particularly grateful to Mr. Jonathan Gunu
Taidi, past General Secretary of NBA, who ran for the office with us, but
promptly called to congratulate me and paid a personal visit to my office to
celebrate with us. I already have his commitment to work with this administration
in delivering the needed dividends to our members.
THE TASK AHEAD AND MY CALL TO MEMBERS OF THE LEGAL
PROFESSION.
I had in my manifesto identified “service to the cause of justice”, as our primary
call as lawyers. The discharge of this duty will naturally lead to the socioeconomic and political change we desire in Nigeria; engender the recovery,
reformation and repositioning we need as a nation; improve the productivity,
prosperity and empowerment within the polity and guarantee the well-being of
the entire citizenry, lawyers inclusive.
We must not lose sight of the fact that the prosperity of the members of the legal
profession cannot be isolated from that of the larger society. To this end, it is the
responsibility of all members of the legal profession, individually and
collectively, to provide the desired leadership to the nation. To achieve this, the
Bar must earn the respect and confidence of the public and this can only be
secured by a Bar that conducts itself professionally with honor, respect, dignity
and integrity. This responsibility of the Bar to the Nation was underscored in the
quote attributed to Sir Adetokunbo Ademola, where he said that “the respect in
which the bar in any country is held is the best indicator of the freedom in that
country”. Conversely, the absence of freedom in a country is the best indicator
of either the complete absence of the Bar or the lack of respect for the Bar in that
country.
Consequently, distinguished colleagues, in taking on the task ahead, I call on all
members of the legal profession to do whatever we are lawfully permitted to do
to command respect as a Bar, because therein lies the freedom this country yearns for. To this end, service to the person of justice must be our primary motivation in the discharge of our responsibilities as members of the legal
profession wherever we may find ourselves; on the Bench, the Bar (official or
private), public service, private businesses, in our places of worship, or whatever
endeavour we may be engaged in. It is my firm belief that with the quality and
diversity of our members, many of whom populate constitutional/statutory
bodies, the legal profession is properly positioned to provide the leadership that
can turn around the fortunes of this nation for the better. Thus, the discharge of
the functions of these statutory bodies must be motivated solely by the need to
attain justice. I therefore call on our members in whatever capacity you currently
serve, to awaken to our responsibilities as socio-economic change agents, to put
our hands on the plough with our eyes fixed on the goal to deliver justice to the
Nigerian people and cultivate the greatness of this Nation under God.
STATE OF THE NATION
The Nigerian state is passing through perilous times. The insecurity in the nation
has reached an all-time high; no longer are we dealing with insecurity on the
fringes of the Nigerian territory, as nearly all parts of the country have
experienced and/or are experiencing one form of security breach or the other.
Attacks on military formations and killing of security personnel are now regular
occurrence. The Abuja-Kaduna train attack; the closure of Kaduna International
Airport due to security concerns; killing of innocent worshippers in Owo, Ondo
State; the rampaging activities of Boko Haram, terrorists, bandits, et al in the
Northern parts of Nigeria; kidnappings and the activities of elements described
as unknown gun men in the South East; the jail breaks including the recent
incident at the Kuje Correctional Centre, FCT; the attacks on the suburbs of the
FCT, within a radius of not more than 50 kilometers to the seat of the President
and the Commander-in-Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; are to say the
least worrisome and distressing. The situation appears so overwhelming that it is
either that what is being done by the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) is too
negligible to be noticed, or nothing is being done at all- many Nigerians believe
that the latter is the position)
There has not been any time in this country when Nigerians have looked more to
the Bar as they do now, for a way out of the rather bleak situation, and they are
certainly looking in the right direction. We are the ones who, by the privilege of
our training and expertise, are positioned to ask the right questions, interrogate
the system and call those saddled with the responsibility of providing security for
the lives and properties of Nigerians, to account for their stewardship. Permit me
to borrow from a biblical expression and to say that; just as the entire world is
eagerly waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God, so are Nigerians eagerly
waiting for the discharge of the leadership responsibility and interventions of
the members of the legal profession. We have what it takes to precipitate the
leadership that will bring the succour and freedom Nigerians deserve and we
cannot afford to shirk from that responsibility.
Let me emphasise this point in this way; Nigeria and Nigerians have been so
terrorised, traumatised and their psyche pauperised by our present-day realities.
The dignity of the lives of Nigerians have come under severe attack by these and
many factors. What is left of this country, which cannot be emasculated in my
humble view, is the voice of the legal profession; a voice that derives its life and
strength from the person of justice and which cannot be caged or killed. This
voice must speak against the terror in the land and the hardship that has taken
over the lives of our people. This is the charge that my administration undertakes
to spearhead.
That is why what we saw at the just concluded conference where some of our
colleagues broke into the Pavillion for the distribution of conference materials,
destroyed the booths and carted away bags and other valuables, was most
unfortunate, highly despicable and totally unacceptable. What the world saw on
social media is not a representation of who we are as members of the legal
profession. We remain proud of the nobility of the profession, and we are
committed to conducting ourselves in the best traditions of the Bar with candour,
honour, dignity, integrity, and professionalism. What we saw fell short of this and
we have a duty to deal with that shameful conduct.
I hereby immediately, subject to the approval of NEC, setup a committee to be
chaired by Mr. Wale Fapohunda, SAN, Attorney General of Ekiti State, to
investigate the incident and identify all those who participated in that disgraceful
act with the view to reporting them to the LPDC.
In the next couple of weeks and months, the NBA under my leadership will take
steps and set in motion processes that will seek to interrogate government’s
investments in the security of this nation and the utilization of these investments
if any, to ascertain the reason(s) for what clearly appears to be a failure of
National Security. Our apparently ill-equipped security personnel are continually
being sacrificed notwithstanding what is known to be their patriotism, uncommon
courage, military expertise, tact, zeal, gallantry and determination to defend the
Nigerian people, their properties and the territorial integrity of this Nation.
This engagement, which must be carried out expeditiously, is necessary to,
amongst other things, generate discussions that will provide Nigerians with
sufficient information to guide them in making their choice of persons to occupy
elective offices in the upcoming general elections. While the NBA shall hold the
current and past leaderships to account (bearing in mind that government is a
continuum), we must ensure that no one seeking elective office leverages on the
failures of this or any administration, to gain the sympathy of Nigerians.
Nigerians must be satisfied, given the concrete realities of our nation, with the
practical solutions that are being proposed to deal with the current security,
economic and political challenges. Consistent with our duty to the people, we
cannot allow the nation to be misled, as Abraham Lincoln once said: “let the
people know the truth and the country will be safe”.
In the interim, I hereby call on the Federal Government of Nigeria, to show
demonstrable commitment to the protection of lives and properties of Nigerians
across the country. A situation where the elite guards of the Commander-in-Chief
will come under such humiliating and fatal attack as was recently reported,
amongst other similar incidences and experiences of the Nigerian military, leaves
much to be desired. I will however commend the security personnel in the field
of operation for doing so much with apparently so little.
THE 2023 GENERAL ELECTIONS
Besides the need to guarantee the security of the lives and properties of Nigerians
as they troop out to vote in the 2023 general elections, the ultimate outcome of
the election will largely depend on the interface between the Bench, the Bar and
the Political gladiators.
As members of the Legal Profession, serving either on
the Bench or at the Bar, we owe Nigerians sincere and honest participation in the
process. We must do all that is legitimately within our abilities, motivated by the
desire to serve the course of justice, to ensure that the relevant laws and rules,
properly interpreted and applied, remain the guiding principles for our
involvement in the process.
While we shall stand with the Courts and do everything legal to protect the
integrity of the Bench against any form of intimidation by the political class, any
person or group of persons, we will not hesitate to call out and pursue disciplinary
action(s) against erring judicial officials. Similarly, members of the Bar who
misconduct themselves while participating in the resolution of electoral disputes
will face disciplinary action at the Legal Practitioners’ Disciplinary Committee
(LPDC) and the Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Committee (LPPC), where Senior
Advocates of Nigeria (SAN) are involved.
Our Association just conducted a fully online election of its national officers,
adjudged free, fair, transparent, credible and seamless. While about 62,000
members were verified and eligible to vote, 34,809 of our members voted in the
election. Eligible members cast their votes from across the world, from the
comfort of their homes, offices and on the go, using their computers, phones and
other electronic devices, while monitoring the progress in real-time. Members did
not have to congregate at any location to vote, thus, avoiding all the risks and
expenses associated with movements from one point to another and convergence
at any designated location.
I call on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the various
State Independent Electoral Commissions to emulate the NBA; to leverage on
technology in the conduct of future general elections with minimal or no exposure
of the electorate to insecurity, risks and other associated costs/expenses in the
process in addition to reducing of likelihood of electoral malpractice. I am
confident that, the insecurity situation will be contained and we shall regain
normalcy in the nation, notwithstanding, deployment of technology in all facets of our national life is not an option. It is the future of the world and we cannot be
left out of this future.
I therefore invite you, learned friends at the Bar to come on this journey with us,
to boldly confront the issues that have plagued our profession; tear down the walls
of division, raise up the fallen standards and jointly disavow every unethical,
unprofessional and sectional thought and action that has kept us from moving
forward and achieving our true potential.
We no longer have time to be mediocre, fearful or indecisive. We will, together,
take decisive, deliberate and calculated steps to move into the bold new world
that awaits us.
Ladies and gentlemen, the best is often saved for the last. I must at this juncture,
publicly express my profound gratitude to His Excellency the Governor of Kebbi
State, Senator Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, who turned out to be the brother I never
had. As Governor, he would travel to Zuru to visit my mum, spend time with her
in her small abode; make so many provisions for her particularly during festive
periods. My younger daughter who once saw the bundles of wrappers the
Governor brought for her grandmother, suggested that her grandmother could
open a shop to start selling wrappers. By the way you treated our mother, you
honoured me in ways that no one in public position had ever done. You severally
visited her in the hospital when she had a surgery about a year before she passed;
on the day of her demise, you immediately flew into Abuja from Kebbi after
leaving the previous day; you attended her funeral service and stood by her grave
when her body was committed to mother earth. I said all of these to say that I
acknowledge you today not as a Governor but as my older brother who is here to
represent the family, particularly our dear mother. At this point, I should
acknowledge my older sister, Dr. Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu, who is standing
election for President-Elect of the Union for International Cancer Control
(UICC), the umbrella body for cancer organisations globally. I wish you success
and pray that the Almighty God will continue to guide you as you work for the
advancement of global health and wellbeing.
My Pastors – Pastor Andy Osakwe, Senior Pastor Summit Bible Church, Rev.
Tokunbo Adejuwon, the National Director Rhema Bible Training Centre and
Pastor Olu Adetomiwa, my younger brother. I thank you all for being available
to guide me, morally and spiritually and for this, I remain grateful.
My friends,
Charles Bala, Prof. Zachariah Tanko, Lateef Olaniyan, Nasir Salau,
Omokayode Dada, Wole Agunbiade, SAN, Honourable Sunny Marshall,
Suleyman Shelleng and the rest of you, I could never repay your kindness,
encouragement and support – thank you!
That I am being inaugurated as the leader of the Bar today is due to the peace and
support I enjoy at home, thanks to the Grace of God and the love, support and
understanding of the one woman that God has blessed me with as a wife. Indeed,
he that finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favour from the Lord. Through
the days and weeks of travels and late nights; through the physical and emotional
absence and the many inconveniences, Zainab never murmured nor complained.
She always bade me farewell and offered prayers for my safe return. She is simply
my haven. Same goes for our Children, Israel Danmanya, Princess Sarah, King
David and Queen Esther – our blessings!
To all our members across the branches, I will be a President for all and will do
my utmost to build a Dynamic Bar where the interests of our members are
accommodated and protected. So, help me God.
Thank you for your attention.
Yakubu Chonoko Maikyau, SAN
President, Nigerian Bar Association.
