GOODWILL MESSAGE
I extend my warm goodwill to the Eastern Bar Forum on the occasion of its 2026 Second Quarterly Meeting in Owerri, Imo State.
Over the years, the Eastern Bar Forum has remained a formidable platform for professional excellence, regional collaboration, and constructive engagement on issues affecting the legal profession and the administration of justice. Your commitment to fostering unity among lawyers in the Eastern Zone continues to strengthen both the Bar and the justice sector.
As members gather to exchange ideas, review emerging legal developments, and chart a progressive course for our profession, I urge everyone to take full advantage of the opportunities for learning, networking, and collaboration.
I commend the Governor of the Forum, Sir Damian Nosike, Esq., the Governing Council, and the Local Organising Committee for their dedication in putting together what promises to be a successful and memorable meeting.
With the NBA National Elections approaching on 18th July, 2026, I urge members to make informed choices by carefully reviewing the records of service, competence, and vision of those seeking office. The future of our Association depends on electing leaders with the capacity, integrity, and commitment to build an accessible, efficient, and responsive Bar that will make every member proud.
I wish all delegates fruitful deliberations, safe travels, and a rewarding meeting.
AFAM O. OKEKE, Esq.
Candidate for General Secretary, Nigerian Bar Association (2026 – 2028).
Past Chairman, NBA Abuja (2022 – 2024)
