The newly inaugurated President of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya, SAN, has pledged to hand over the association in a stronger position than she found it.

Badejo-Okusanya also assured members of her commitment and loyalty throughout her tenure as NBA President.

The Senior Advocate of Nigeria took the oath of office on Friday during the NBA’s Annual General Meeting held in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

Badejo-Okusanya became the 33rd President of the NBA after the completion 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.”
