As conversations around judicial autonomy, legislative oversight, and the future of democratic governance continue to dominate legal and political circles, the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Gombe Branch, is set to host one of the most anticipated discussions of its 2026 Law Week.
At the center of the conversation will be Hon. Justice Hafsat Abdulrahman, Chief Judge of Adamawa State, who is billed to participate as a panelist in a high-level session examining the delicate relationship between the Judiciary, Legislature, and the legal profession.
The session, themed “Judicial Independence and Legislative Oversight: The Role of the Bar in Balancing Institutional Powers,” is expected to attract judges, senior lawyers, academics, policymakers, and stakeholders eager to explore how democratic institutions can function independently while remaining accountable.
The event forms part of the NBA Gombe Branch Law Week 2026, holding under the broader theme:
“Strengthening Justice Through Reforms: Lawyers as Agents of Change.”
Scheduled for 16th June, 2026, at the ICC Auditorium, Gombe, the session promises more than routine speeches. It is expected to spark robust exchanges on the challenges confronting the justice sector and the responsibilities of lawyers in defending the rule of law amid evolving political realities.
With her vast judicial experience and leadership as Chief Judge of Adamawa State, Hon. Justice Hafsat Abdulrahman is expected to bring practical insights to a debate that strikes at the heart of constitutional democracy.
The NBA Gombe Branch therefore invites members of the Bar, Bench, law students, public officers, and interested members of the public to be part of this important engagement.
When questions of judicial independence arise, silence is never an option. Join the conversation where ideas will be tested, perspectives challenged, and the future of institutional balance discussed.
