I am truly honoured to be given the exceptional privilege of being appointed as the National Chairman of the NBA-YLF, by the Proactive Bar President, Mazi Afam Osigwe LIFE BENCHER, SAN.

I unreservedly express my profound gratitude to Mr President for considering me worthy of this appointment and to all my colleagues who have taken the time to share in my joy.

I performed a circumspect assessment of members of the newly constituted NBA-YLF Governing Council, which revealed Mr. President’s true intention for the NBA-YLF.

It is clear that Mr President expects a performance-based and result-oriented NBA-YLF Given the antecedents and skill sets of the individual lawyers who constitute the Governing Council, I am confident that we will work together as a team and build on the successes recorded by the NBA-YLF leadership under Abdulrauf Aboki, Esq.
