This is contained in a Notice made available to TheNigeriaLawyer signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Dr. Rapulu Nduka.
The Forum will serve as a platform to connect all lawyers qualified to practice law in Nigeria but resident outside Nigeria.
The Notice reads in part, “Recall that one of the innovations in the recently amended NBA Constitution 2021, is the establishment of a Lawyers in Diaspora Forum (LDF). The forum is to serve as a platform to connect and provide a voice for all persons qualified to practice law in Nigeria, but resident outside Nigeria. This forum will also serve as a structured platform through which all lawyers in the diaspora may contribute their quota – individually and collectively – to the development of the Nigerian Bar, the Nigerian legal system, and the practice of law in Nigeria.”
Nduka further lists the eligibility for joining the forum to include qualification to practice law in Nigeria and membership of NBA Branch. Others are payment of Bar Practicing Fees and residence outside Nigeria.
“To join this forum, a prospective member must (i) be qualified to practice law in Nigeria; (ii) belong to a branch of the NBA; (iii) have paid his/her Bar Practice Fees; and (iv) be resident outside Nigeria. Anyone who meets these requirements is urged to kindly complete the attached form –
