President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Afam Osigwe, SAN says the association would hold both federal and state governments accountable, ensuring that their policies contribute to good governance for the people.
Osigwe remarked after taking his oath as the 32nd President of the NBA, “Under my watch, the Nigerian Bar Association will not shy away from holding the federal and state governments accountable. The rule of law must be upheld, and the rights of Nigerians must be protected.”
Osigwe also praised his opponents, Tobenna Erojikwe and Chukwuka Ikwazom, SAN, for their respectful conduct throughout the election process and urged them to join him in advancing the association’s goals.
Osigwe will serve alongside other newly sworn-in national officers for the next two years, succeeding the immediate past president, Yakubu Maikyau, SAN whose tenure ended on Thursday.
