The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) President Olumide Akpata and the President of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria (NICN), Justice Benedict Kanyip, have confirmed their participation in the NBA Section on Public Interest Law and Development (NBA-SPIDEL) Annual Conference.
The conference is scheduled to hold at the exquisite Jogor Centre, Ibadan between May 23 and 26, 2021.
The event is planned as the first major in-person conference by the NBA since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, with many lawyers expressing interest in participating at the prospect of reconnecting with their peers since the last in-person Annual General Conference in Lagos almost two years ago.
