The President of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya, SAN, has vowed to leave the institution stronger than she met it.
Badejo-Okusanya promised to be faithful during her tenure as the NBA President.
The Senior Advocate of Nigeria was sworn-in during the NBA’s Annual General Meeting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Friday.
Badejo-Okusanya emerged as the 33rd President of the NBA following the expiration of the tenure of Afam Osigwe, SAN.
Posting on her verified X page, she wrote: “Twenty-four years after I attended my first Annual General Conference as a newly called lawyer and watched the baton of leadership pass to a new President, I stood before the same Association today to receive it myself.
“I receive this office with gratitude for those who ran before me, humility for the trust placed in me, and a solemn determination to run my own leg faithfully.
“May it be said, when this tenure is over, that the Bar became bolder; that lawyers felt seen, protected and empowered; and that we left the Nigerian Bar Association stronger than we met it. The work begins today.”
