The Chairman of the NBA Section on Public Interest and Development Law (NBA-SPIDEL), Dr. Monday Ubani has described Olumide Akpata best President to have ever held the position in the NBA after Alao Aka-Bashorun.
In a statement made available to TheNigeriaLawyer, Dr. Ubani emphasised that in the Association’s recent history and of all its Presidents with their different leadership styles and strengths, Akpata stands out.
According to his statement: “After Alao Bashorun’s presidency in NBA, there were innovative NBA Presidents like Olisa Agbakoba SAN, classy like Olanipekun SAN, the courageous ones like Rotimi Akeredolu SAN and JB Daudu SAN, gentle like Okey Nwali SAN, AB Mahmoud SAN and Paul Usoro SAN, Transformative like Alegeh SAN but the best after Alao Aka- Bashorun, if you ask me, is Mr OLUMIDE AKPATA, the outgoing president.”
Ubani said that Akpata will be exiting the presidency of NBA in grand style and blaze of glory as his tenure draws to an end.
He also said The Annual General Meeting of the Annual General Conference which is on the 25th of August, 2022 in Lagos remains a day of eulogizing the sterling and courageous leadership ever witnessed in the noble profession after Alao Aka Bashorun.
He stressed, “In doing this, no accusation of eye service or hypocrisy can stand. Olu deserves encomiums meritoriously.That I know and can attest.”
Ubani while also expressing his pride in Akpata’s feats said his leadership reawakens cause to believe and maintain hope in Nigeria’s future.
“Believe me, I AM PROUD TO KNOW HIM PERSONALLY.
Let us not lose hope IN NBA and by extendion IN NIGERIA! We will get to OUR DESERVED DESTINATION ONE DAY! Keep faith.”
