In a significant bridge between traditional authority and modern legal practice, the NBA Section on Business Law (SBL) Northern Delegation secured a powerful ally for their upcoming conference.
On April 9, 2026, the delegation paid a courtesy visit to the ancient city of Zaria, where they were warmly received by His Royal Highness, Ambassador Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli, the Emir of Zazzau.
The visit wasn’t just a matter of protocol, it was a meeting of minds. The Emir, a seasoned diplomat himself, offered more than just a royal blessing; he officially committed to attending the conference, signaling a strong synergy between the legal community and the traditional leadership of Kaduna State.
