The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has constituted a Caretaker Committee for its newly created Eti-Osa Branch, following the approval of the branch’s establishment by the National Executive Council (NEC) on February 29, 2024.
The committee, appointed by the National Executive Committee (NEC), is tasked with administering the affairs of the branch for a period of three months and conducting elections for the branch’s executive committee.
The Caretaker Committee is chaired by Olawale Ajia, with Chinyere Akuwueze Nwaogu serving as the Secretary. Other members of the committee include Clifford Orighomisan Atakere, Hauwa Halidu, and Ganiyu Adebowale Johnson.
In a notice issued by the NBA President, Yakubu Chonoko Maikyau, OON, SAN, the committee is mandated to plan and hold the Annual General Meeting of the branch within the stipulated three-month period, during which the election of the executive committee will be conducted. The committee is expected to complete the election process and hand over to the elected Branch Executive Committee on or before August 7, 2024.
President Maikyau expressed his gratitude to the members of the Caretaker Committee for accepting the responsibility and urged them to discharge their duties in accordance with the law, without fear or favour. He also called upon the members of the Eti-Osa Branch to extend their full support and cooperation to the Caretaker Committee to ensure a smooth launch of the branch.
The creation of the Eti-Osa Branch is part of the NBA’s efforts to expand its reach and better serve its members at the grassroots level. The appointment of the Caretaker Committee is a crucial step in establishing the branch’s leadership and paving the way for its effective functioning.
