Mr. Akpata’s iconic legacy as NBA’s servant President will remain perhaps the highest touchstone ever set for Bar leadership in the NBA. Even on the most important issues of national importance, he has remained very resolute, unbending and principled like a leader whose lodestar is a divine instinct to remain steadfast to duty, honour and country.

A few may question your strategy and style but in a little more than a year of your leadership, your results has been unquestionably staggering, from welfare to inclusion to renewal of hope in the Association. You have proven yourself a defender of truth and an important guardian of the Bar’s most cherished values.

You have demonstrated the incredible things that can be achieved when the right people are at the centre of leadership. May God continue to guide your steps as you remain steadfast to your mandate and campaign promises.
Happy Birthday Mr. President!. God bless you.
