Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Justice Peter Umeadi, is expected to be a special guest at the 2022 Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association.
The letter of invitation to that effect states: “On behalf of the National Executive Council and members of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), I write to formally invite you as a guest speaker to the 62nd edition of the Annual General Conference of the NBA Conference, scheduled to hold from 19th to 26th August 2022 in Lagos State.”
According to information made available to Sunday Sun, the conference with the theme -“Bold Transitions”, will afford legal practitioners in Nigeria a unique opportunity to interrogate issues affecting the profession and society and also seek innovative ways of advancing justice delivery and providing value- adding legal solutions to their clients and the environment within which members of the Association operate.
“Discussions at the conference will focus on the need for the legal profession to engage boldly with global evolutionary trends and will include over 30 technical sessions where experts will lead conversations primarily aimed at envisioning the future of the legal profession within the context of a rapidly transiting world and business environment, triggered in part, by the revolutionary exploits and expressions of technology and the historic coronavirus pandemic,” the statement added.
This year’s Conference is expected to have approximately 13,000 delegates from the Bar and Bench in attendance.
