The leadership of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has announced that the association’s next Annual Conference will take place in Port Harcourt, the capital city of Rivers State.
Afam Osigwe, the National President of the NBA made this disclosure at the ongoing conference in Enugu State.
Osigwe said, “The next conference will take place in Port Harcourt. But our going to Port Harcourt is on a condition; that democratic institutions would be returned and succeed. Thank you.”
Recall that the 2025 NBA Annual Conference was earlier scheduled to be held in Rivers State.
It was however, moved to Enugu following the declaration of a State of Emergency and suspension of the state governor, Siminalayi Fubara, his deputy and all elected officers in Rivers by President Bola Tinubu.
Shortly after the declaration, the leadership of the NBA condemned the action of the president.
Further calling for the reversal of the state of Emergency and recall of all the elected officials, the NBA, in protest moved its conference from Port Harcourt to Enugu.
