The newly elected Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Sokoto Branch, Barrister Bashir Muazu Jodi, has pledged to strengthen the independence of the Bar, promote the rule of law, improve members’ welfare and support faster justice delivery during his tenure.
Speaking with journalists in Sokoto shortly after his emergence as chairman, Jodi described the election as a peaceful and democratic process driven by a shared commitment to advancing the legal profession and restoring public confidence in the justice system.
“The contest was keenly fought but peaceful. It was never a fight; it was a struggle among colleagues united by a common mission to move the profession forward and strengthen the NBA in Sokoto State,” he said.
Jodi, who has nearly two decades of legal practice experience and has served in various capacities within the association, said his exposure to the challenges facing lawyers and the justice sector motivated him to pursue reforms.
