For the benefit of doubt of the general public, the national council for the NBA-YLF states unequivocally that it is the ONLY recognized body by the Nigerian Bar Association to govern the affairs of Young Lawyers in Nigeria. The Council hereby disclaim, debunk and disassociate itself from the Circular by the impostor organisation. While the freedom of everyone to form an association is guaranteed and respected, there can only be one Young Lawyers Forum Council in Nigeria which is the NBA-YLF Council. Any attempt to form another is an affront to the NBA. The attention of all necessary agencies has therefore been drawn to the misrepresentation and NBA will look into this infraction in due course. With regard to the purported presidential debate by the impostor Council, the NBA-YLF wishes to inform the public that by the clear provisions of the NBA Constitution 2015, it is ONLY the Electoral Committee of the NBA (ECNBA) that is saddled with the power to manage NBA elections and related issues thereto. Consequently, Learned Colleagues and general public are strongly advised to disregard this baseless circular in its entirety. If in doubt, please reach out to any national executive member of the NBA or member of the NBA-YLF Council for more clarifications. Zakariya M. Umar, Esq. (Pub. Sec. NBA-YLF National)]]>
