The newly elected President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Afam Osigwe, has officially assumed office as the 32nd President of the NBA in a ceremony held in Lagos.

Osigwe, who succeeded Mr Yakubu Maikyau, took the oath of office on Thursday, marking the start of his tenure as the leader of the prestigious legal body.

Elected to the position in July 2023, Osigwe has taken over from Maikyau, whose tenure concluded today.

The new president, formerly the General Secretary of the NBA, secured the position in the NBA presidential election by defeating two other contestants.
