Past Chairman of the NBA Abuja Branch and Partner in the form of Trumann Rockwood Solicitors has endorsed Mr. YC Maikyau, SAN in the race for the office of NBA President in a statement obtained by our reporters.

Read the full statement below:

Once again, the Nigerian Bar is at a crossroad and as the architects of our future we have the opportunity to choose another transformational leader and a bridge builder.

Mr. Yakubu Chonoko Maikyau, SAN is a man of excellence, compassion and integrity, in his public and private life. He is a consummate professional with a career trajectory that is both inspiring and worthy of emulation. No wonder he is a role model and mentor to many.

The Dynamic Bar Manifesto is Mr. Maikyau’s social contract with the Bar. It stands out as a practical roadmap to building the future that we all desire, personally and professionally. It is a concise charter of innovation, renovation and consolidation.

Leadership is a function of capacity and YC has demonstrated immense capacity in his professional interactions with colleagues and in the discharge of his duties at the Bar. As Chairman of the NBA Welfare Committee in the current administration, YC Maikyau SAN has driven policies that have positively impacted the health and wealth of members. He is accessible to all members, young and old.

At this crucial point in our history, the Bar needs a President who can speak truth to power and give power to truth. In the words of renowned innovator and inventor of the Polio Vaccine, Mr. Jonas Salk,  “The reward for work well done is the opportunity to do more”.
I am therefore excited, enthused and honored to commend and endorse Mr. YC Maikyau SAN for President of the Nigerian Bar Association as we cast our votes on the 16th July, 2022. A vote for Mr. Maikyau is a vote for progress, welfare and integrity.
