The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Lagos Branch will today hold its first Annual General Meeting (AGM) under the chairmanship of Mr. Chukwuka Ikwuazom.

Sponsored by NBA presidential candidate, Mr. Paul Usoro SAN, the AGM will also see Usoro deliver a lecture on “The Art of Cross-Examination” during the knowledge sharing segment.
