Maikyau & Co, Abdulrauf Tijjani Aboki, will bring his wealth of experience and vision for the future of law to the stage at the 2025 Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA). He is billed to speak on “Trailblazing Without Borders” during a breakout session on Wednesday, August 27, 2025.
Aboki’s professional journey reflects the very theme of the session. A former Chairman of the Young Lawyers Governing Council of the NBA and past Board Member of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund, he has consistently championed innovation and advancement within the legal profession.
His service on key NBA committees, including the Remuneration Committee, underscores his commitment to improving the welfare and professional standing of lawyers across the country.
With over a decade of active practice, Aboki is recognized for his expertise in Banking and Commercial Law. As an Associate of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (UK), he has led complex cases, advised on intricate transactions, and mentored younger lawyers seeking to chart new paths.

Beyond his professional accolades, Aboki is a devoted family man, married and blessed with a child. His participation at the AGC promises to inspire lawyers with practical lessons on resilience, courage, and innovation in navigating uncharted territories of legal practice.
The session, part of the NBA-AGC’s broader theme “Stand Out, Stand Tall”, is expected to ignite thought-provoking conversations on the evolving frontiers of law and the limitless opportunities available to the modern lawyer.
