As public interest advocates, ours is to constantly remind the judiciary of the daunting task ahead, need to do substantial justice and to help set the tone as watchdogs of justice delivery.
  18. We have lined up arrays of firebrand activists, renowned human rights crusaders, public interest advocates, rule of law defenders and other key players and stakeholders in the project NIGERIA at this conference as speakers and resource persons to deliver inspiring, thought-provoking, rewarding, educative and motivating session. Other networking activities and social events are also lined up for a truly refreshing conference experience. It promises to be one of the best in the annals of NBA Sections’ Conferences.
