Agenda for the new NBA president, By Gbemiga OgunleyeSPECIAL REPORT: Jigawa villagers link declining farming output, urban drift to abandonment of damSPECIAL REPORT: Katsina farmers lament impact of climate changeAgenda for the new NBA president, By Gbemiga Ogunleye
The NBA President is by statues, a member of the National Judicial Council , the body responsible for the appointment and discipline of judges; a member of the Legal Practitioners Privileges Committee , the body responsible for the appointment of lawyers into the inner Bar as SANs; and a member of the Council of Legal Education, the body responsible for the admission of would be lawyers into the Nigerian Law School.
Aka-Bashorun made the NBA the rallying voice in the country’s opposition to continued military misrule during the Babangida regime! When the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen was whimsically removed from office, the voice of the NBA was muffled. Such an egregious assault on the judiciary deserved a national strike by lawyers.The NBA under Olumide Akpata canvassed vigorously for the appointment of senior lawyers to our appellate courts. I think the new NBA President should continue in the same direction.
If in doubt, ask former Governor el-Rufai and other former political office holders fighting for their political lives.
