Prince Adebayo, SDP Presidential Flagbearer to Attend NBA Conference: “The theme for this year’s Conference is “Bold Transitions”
Prince Adewole Adebayo, the presidential candidate of Social Democratic Party, SDP will be a guest of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA annual conference next week.
The fast rising politician has been invited by the association of the country’s lawyer via a letter fated on 15th August, 2022.
The NBA in the invitation letter stated that, “on behalf of the National Executive Council and members of the Nigerian Bar
Association (“NBA”), I write to formally invite you, as a guest to the 62nd Edition of
the Annual General Conference of the NBA (“the NBA Conference”), scheduled
to hold from 19th to 26th August 2022 in Lagos State.”
The NBA Conference is the leading event of the NBA and a main feature of the
annual calendar of the Nigerian legal profession.
It presents legal practitioners in
Nigeria with a unique opportunity to interrogate issues affecting the profession and
society and to continue to seek innovative ways of advancing justice delivery and
providing value-adding legal solutions to their clients and the environment within
which members of the Association operate.
The NBA Conference is the largest gathering of business, political and thought
leaders on the African continent and will congregate thought leaders in the areas
of justice delivery, technology, the economy, politics, judicial reforms, and the rule
of law.
This year’s Conference is anticipated to have approximately 13,000
delegates from the Bar and Bench in attendance. Also expected are business
persons from different sectors, technocrats as well as political leaders from within
and outside Nigeria.
The theme for this year’s Conference is “Bold Transitions”. The core objective of
the 2022 NBA Conference will be to host a world class conference, with in-depth
discourse on critical issues affecting the legal profession and the country in
general, facilitated by the most eminently qualified resource persons.
Discussions
at the Conference will focus on the need for the legal profession to engage boldly
with global evolutionary trends and will comprise over 30 technical sessions where
experts will lead conversations primarily aimed at envisioning the future of the legal
profession within the context of a rapidly transiting world and business
environment, triggered in part, by the revolutionary exploits and expressions of
technology and the historic coronavirus pandemic.
NBA added that “all around us are instances of transition in the different spheres of life. Indeed
the 2022 NBA Conference will precede the 2023 general elections that will birth a
democratic transition from one democratically elected President to another, for
the fifth time in the 4th Republic.
Accordingly, “NBA will be delighted to welcome you as a guest to the Conference,
particularly the opening ceremony, which is scheduled to hold on Monday 22nd
August 2022, as well as a special session that will follow immediately after, titled
“Democratic Transitions in the 21st Century Nigeria: 2023 and Beyond.”
