The event is scheduled to commence at 3:00 p.m. and is expected to bring together over 500 legal practitioners, members of the Bench, government officials and other key stakeholders from across the Niger Delta.
The annual dinner, regarded as one of the flagship events of the NBA Warri Branch, is designed to celebrate excellence in the legal profession while providing an opportunity for social interaction among members of the Bar, the Bench and other stakeholders.
Chairman of the 2026 Dinner Committee and former Secretary of the Branch, John Aruoture, expressed the commitment of the committee to delivering a memorable and distinct dinner event.
Mr. Aruoture confirmed that sponsorship for the event has been structured across different categories to accommodate both members of the legal profession, including lawyers and law firms, and corporate organisations outside the profession.
Among the member-sponsors are Stephen Efejuku & Co. (Miemie Chambers) and Garnet & Hawthorns Solicitors, both listed as Gold Sponsors.
K.K. Iheme & Co. and Robinson Ariyo & Co. are listed as Bronze Sponsors.
In the corporate sponsorship category, Melcurt Ltd is a Bronze Sponsor, while Delta Careers College is a Copper Sponsor.
The NBA Warri Annual Dinner is an age-long tradition of the Branch and is usually highly anticipated by members, their spouses and invited guests.
The 2026 edition will be the first Annual Dinner under the tenure of Mr. Francis Chukwuma Okala, who was elected Chairman of the NBA Warri Branch in June.
The event is expected to be a carefully curated evening celebrating members of the legal profession and strengthening relationships among lawyers, members of the Bench, government officials and other stakeholders.
The Warri Branch of the Nigerian Bar Association was founded in 1959 and is one of the 12 founding branches of the NBA.
Under the 1960 NBA Constitution, the pioneer branches were Warri, Lagos, Ibadan, Enugu, Benin City, Onitsha, Aba, Port Harcourt, Calabar, Kano, Jos and Sapele.
With preparations in top gear, the Dinner Committee remains focused on delivering a memorable Annual Law Dinner.
