The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) on Monday commenced an eventful and highly engaging week of activities, beginning with the launch of a book in honour of its President, Mazi Afam Josiah Osigwe, SAN.
The book launch, which held on 2nd February 2026, was well attended by national officers of the Association, past national officers, Senior Advocates of Nigeria, and distinguished members of the legal profession from across the country. The occasion was chaired by a former President of the Association, Augustine Alegeh, SAN. The book was extensively reviewed before its formal unveiling, marking a significant moment of reflection on leadership and service within the Bar.
Following the book launch, attention shifted to Maiduguri, Borno State, as statutory members and national officers converged for the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting.
