WHY VOTE FOR EBIERE EMMANUELLA EKPESE?
My aspiration for office is propelled by a firm conviction that we all bear the responsibility of building the NBA into an enviable association. My motto is to Serve, service to humanity at large whilst passionately serving the NBA.

This I believe can be achieved when we stand on the shoulders of elders and foundations laid by past administrations. I believe that after service in office, the NBA would have become better by her processes of internal and external communication, and standards of public perception. We will do this by consistently demonstrating professionalism, speed and courtesy in the discharge of these duties in office. We will remain sensitive and alert to diverse national issues on which the Society expects lawyers to lead the charge in addressing same.

All this can be achieved speedily and efficiently with the use of technology; embracing our present day reality.

I have had experiences in both law practice and relationships with lawyers across the country. Having served at different capacity, I come fully equipped with personal organizational experience, exposure to operations within the NBA, and an understanding of public relations in a professional context.

I have led teams and have l served with effective team players, and have as well accomplished innovative milestones and assignments.

Ebiere Emmanuella Ekpese
Sagbama Branch.
