In a continued effort to uphold the highest standards of legal ethics and compliance, the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Port Harcourt Branch, is set to host a hybrid Continuing Legal Education (CLE) training titled “Training for Legal Professionals on the Rules of Professional Conduct and Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism.”

The training, scheduled for 18th July 2025 at the NBA PHC Branch House, will run from 12 noon to 3 pm.

Designed for both physical and virtual participants, the training will be accessed only by potential participants who pre-register and are duly verified. The event will also attract 1 CDP Credit for participating legal practitioners.

The distinguished speakers for the event include Prof. Ernest Ojukwu, SAN, Co-Chair of the NBA Anti-Money Laundering Committee (AMLC), and  Mrs. Miannaya Essien, SAN, a seasoned legal practitioner with extensive knowledge of compliance and legal ethics.

The training is being organised under the leadership of Mrs. Cordelia U. Eke FICMC, ACIArb (UK), Chairman, NBA Port Harcourt Branch and Mr. Henry C. Chibor, FCIArb (UK), Chairman, Continuing Legal Education Committee, NBA Port Harcourt Branch.

The CLE training aims to equip lawyers with in-depth knowledge of the Rules of Professional Conduct as well as enhance their capacity to identify and mitigate risks associated with money laundering and terrorism financing — key global compliance issues currently shaping legal and financial systems.
