NIGERIAN LAW SOCIETY (NLS) RECEIVES SPECIAL ACCOLADE FROM AFRICAN BAR ASSOCIATION (AFBA) ON ITS VICTORY IN COURT

The Nigerian Law Society (NLS) has continued to receive unending commendations and congratulatory messages on its groundbreaking victory in a Suit filed by its Promoters against the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC); wherein the corporate existence of NLS was validated by a Court Order mandating CAC to proceed to register and thereafter issue a certificate of registration to NLS.

The African Bar Association (AFBA), upon receiving a report of the landmark judgment, which has been described by renowned Senior Advocates of Nigeria as a victory for the Nigerian Constitution and lawyers, congratulated the leadership and members of NLS.

In a letter signed by AFBA’s Deputy Secretary General and Acting Secretary of the Governing Council – Cllr. Edjera E. Barchue, and addressed to the President of NLS – Chief Kunle Ogunba, SAN, the Association expressed success wishes to the Society.

Being the “fearless voice of the legal profession” in Africa, AFBA, without any iota of equivocation, reiterated its unrestricted support to NLS as well as all bodies of lawyers in the continent.

As the umbrella body of lawyers and the Bar Association in the Continent, AFBA did not hesitate to highlight the need for a synergy between NLS and NBA for the benefit of legal practitioners in Nigeria.
