ABUJA — President-elect of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Mrs Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya, SAN, has pledged to work with members and stakeholders to heal divisions within the legal profession and promote unity in the association ahead of her inauguration next month.
Badejo-Okusanya made the commitment on Tuesday while speaking with journalists after a closed-door meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The NBA president-elect said she had commenced consultations with members and stakeholders across the association, adding that her administration would address concerns arising from the recently concluded election and strengthen the unity of the legal body.
“My swearing-in is not until the end of August. In the meantime, I continue to reach out to members and stakeholders so that we can work together to improve things, heal any hurt anyone has, and ensure that the NBA continues to fulfil its role to society,” she said.
