The President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mr. Paul Usoro, SAN wishes all Muslim faithful, particularly the Muslim Lawyers Association of Nigeria (MULAN) a memorable and blessed celebration of Eid al – Adha.

This important Islamic festival enjoys the most unique theme and lesson of sacrifice which is very instructive and particularly apt in the peculiar circumstance of our new world – a world plagued with the Covid-19 pandemic.

While we all have had and are still sacrificing some parts of our lives to keep ourselves and families safe, we must reserve the biggest compliment for our frontline health workers, some of whom have had to render the ultimate sacrifice. The NBA President therefore places on record the gratitude of all Nigerian lawyers to all Nigerian health workers.

The NBA President also congratulates our esteemed members and contestants at the just concluded national officers’ election on a successful poll. The NBA leadership equally salutes the Electoral Committee of the NBA (ECNBA) for conducting an election which is unarguably the most transparent in the history of the NBA.

The NBA President on behalf of the national officers pray that the blessings of Eid el-Kabir abide with us all.
