The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has clarified that its upcoming 66th Annual General Conference (AGC) in Port Harcourt is not a compensation for the organization's previous conference in 2025, which was relocated due to political unrest. NBA President Afam Osigwe stated this during a media briefing in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.
The conference will take place from August 21 to August 28 at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium. NBA's decision to return to Port Harcourt comes after the previous conference was moved due to the declaration of a state of emergency and the appointment of an administrator, which the NBA deemed undemocratic and unconstitutional. Osigwe reiterated that the NBA had previously made it clear that the conference would return to Port Harcourt when democratic institutions were fully restored in the state.
