It is with great pleasure that I extend my heartfelt greetings to the Chairman, Council Members, and distinguished participants of the 19th Annual International Business Law Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association Section on Business Law (NBA-SBL).
Over the years, the NBA-SBL has distinguished itself as a thought leader and catalyst for innovation in the business law ecosystem, and this year’s conference continues that proud tradition.
The theme could not be more timely or relevant, especially as legal professionals in Nigeria and beyond are called upon to navigate increasingly complex commercial landscapes with wisdom, agility, and global best practices.
This conference serves not only as a platform for dialogue and learning but also as an incubator for transformative ideas that can shape legal frameworks, influence policy, and strengthen institutions.
I commend the NBA-SBL for creating such a vibrant space for cross-sector engagement, collaboration, and growth.
As we converge to discuss, reflect, and share insights, may we also be inspired to act—each in our own capacity—to uphold the rule of law, protect business integrity, and contribute to the economic advancement of our nation and continent.
I wish all delegates a fruitful and impactful conference.
Prof Foluke Dada-Lawanson
