The Nigerian Bar Association Section on Public Interest and Development Law (NBA-SPIDEL) recorded a major success in its membership drive at the Eastern Bar Forum (EBF) Quarterly meeting held today, 11 July 2026, in Owerri, Imo State.
The SPIDEL delegation, comprising Dr. M.O Ubani, SAN(MOU), Dr.D.C. Enamhe, Onome Amartey Esq, Okey Ohagba Esq, Chika Okolie, Laurreta Ikwuka, Idris Abayomi Segun Esq and other dedicated members, used the opportunity to reintroduce the Section to members of the Forum and highlight its pivotal role in advancing public interest law, development law, and the promotion of justice in Nigeria.
The presentation was met with enthusiasm and admiration from both the leadership and members of the Forum. A significant number of lawyers expressed interest in becoming members of SPIDEL and accordingly submitted their names and contact details for further engagement and enrollment.
In furtherance of its membership expansion strategy, the team resolved to extend similar advocacy visits to the Arewa Lawyers Forum and Egbe Amofin Forum, and other regional and affinity bar forums whenever they hold their quarterly meetings, with a view to deepening awareness of SPIDEL’s activities and attracting more members across the country.
The outing was unanimously described by the leadership of the Media Network and Eastern Regional Representative as highly successful, impactful, and productive, marking another important step in strengthening the reach and visibility of NBA-SPIDEL nationwide.
