The Nigerian Bar Association Section on Legal Practice (NBA-SLP) has intensified preparations for its 2026 Annual Conference, securing former Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, as a Keynote participant in a move that underscores the growing influence of the gathering.

 Chairman of the Section, Mrs. Folashade Alli, SAN, disclosed this at a media briefing in Lagos, where she outlined the vision and scope of the Conference scheduled for April 7 to 10 at the National Theatre.

 Mrs Alli said the Conference, themed “Evolving Trends: Nigerian Legal Practice, Global Perspectives”, will serve as a strategic platform to reposition Nigerian Lawyers within a rapidly changing global legal environment.

 According to her, the event will interrogate developments in legal technology, cross-border transactions, corporate governance and dispute resolution, while also addressing regulatory and policy shifts impacting legal practice.

 She further revealed that Professor Osinbajo will headline the first fireside chat session, bringing his wealth of experience in governance, law and public policy to bear on discussions at the Conference.

 Vice Chairman of the Section, Tonye Krukrubo, SAN, said the Conference is expected to attract a broad spectrum of participants, including Jurists, Senior Advocates and emerging practitioners, from across jurisdictions.

 Also present at the briefing were Chairman of the Conference Planning Committee, Mrs Abimbola Akeredolu, SAN, and Co-Chairman, Kelechi Obi, SAN, alongside other members of the organising team.

 The NBA-SLP described the Conference as a flagship intervention aimed at strengthening professional standards, and shaping the future trajectory of legal practice in Nigeria.
