As the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Annual General Conference (AGC) 2025 kicks off in Enugu, legal practitioner and Past National Officer of the NBA, Okey Leo Ohagba, Esq., has extended his goodwill and commendation to the leadership and participants of this year’s highly anticipated gathering.
In a message titled “Stand Out, Stand Tall! – As We Converge in the Coal City!”, Ohagba conveyed his heartfelt congratulations to the President of the NBA, Mazi Afam Josiah Osigwe, SAN, the AGC Planning Committee (AGCPC) chaired by High Chief Sir Emeka J. P. Obegolu, and the Local Organising Committee under the leadership of Ikeazor Akaraiwe, SAN.
“It is with profound joy and deep reverence that I write to extend my heartfelt congratulations to our most amiable President, Mazi Afam Josiah Osigwe, SAN, the Annual General Conference Planning Committee (AGCPC), ably led by High Chief Sir Emeka J. P. Obegolu, the Ikeazor Akaraiwe, SAN-led Local Organising Committee, and to all esteemed conferees to this year’s Annual General Conference (AGC) holding in Enugu, the Coal City State,” he stated.
Ohagba praised the 2025 AGC theme — “Stand Out, Stand Tall!” — describing it as timely and deeply resonant with the values that define the legal profession.
“This year’s well-crafted AGC theme, ‘STAND OUT, STAND TALL!’ speaks directly to the courage, boldness, excellence, and unblemished integrity that every Nigerian lawyer must embody,” he wrote. “It is a call to rise above present-day challenges and brace for greater exploits — be more emboldened in defending the rule of law and championing social justice.”
He further expressed optimism that the lineup of resource persons at this year’s conference would inspire attendees and contribute meaningfully to the legal profession in Nigeria.
“With the array of globally renowned resource persons, this year’s AGC will, no doubt, ignite boundless inspiration amongst conferees — elevating our practice and careers, forge an enduring legacy of unity, excellence, and unwavering dedication to the service of our profession and society and above all, illuminate new horizons for the Nigerian Bar, the legal profession and our country Nigeria,” he affirmed.
As thousands of lawyers from across the country and beyond converge on Enugu for the conference, Ohagba extended warm wishes to all delegates, praying for their safety and a fruitful experience.
“Here’s wishing all conferees journey mercies and a refreshingly rewarding conference experience,” he said. “Let’s STAND OUT and STAND TALL!”
The NBA AGC 2025 is expected to draw leading figures in the legal profession, government, civil society, and the private sector, with discussions focused on professional excellence, legal reforms, national development, and justice delivery.
