In what can only be described as a spectacular convergence of sportsmanship, professionalism, and purpose, the Nigerian Bar Association has taken a bold leap forward with the official draws for the NBA President’s Cup Football Tournament, heralding yet another historic highlight in the build-up to the 2025 Annual General Conference in Enugu.
Held on Wednesday, 23rd July 2025, in a dynamic hybrid format that brought together physical attendees and virtual participants from across the nation, the draws showcased the NBA’s unmatched ability to unify through sport—demonstrating once again that football is more than a game within the Bar; it is a language of connection, camaraderie, and character.
As Chair of the Conference Planning Committee, Chief Emeka Obegolu, SAN, led the proceedings with grace and clarity, reminding all participating teams and stakeholders of the essence of fair play.
He underscored the importance of adhering strictly to the Tournament Rule Book, a document jointly crafted by the stakeholders themselves, ensuring that the spirit of integrity and professionalism remains the soul of the competition.
A major highlight of the event was the unveiling of the official sponsors for both the male and female categories of the tournament: Babatunde Ogala, SAN and Chikosolu Ojukwu, SAN—legal titans whose relentless commitment to youth empowerment, unity, and the future of the Bar cannot be overstated.
Their sponsorship is not only symbolic of their belief in the transformative power of sports, but it also comes with tangible support: the full prize monies for both categories have already been secured and will be presented at the tournament’s grand finale.
This confident assurance sets a new benchmark for planning and delivery, reaffirming the integrity and vision of the Conference Planning Committee and the leadership of the NBA under Mazi Afam Osigwe, SAN, whose rallying call for excellence continues to inspire.
As the cheers build and the teams brace for kickoff, the message to every player, fan, and supporter remains clear and resounding:
STAND OUT. STAND TALL.
From the football field to the plenary halls, the NBA AGC 2025 promises to be more than a conference—it is a movement.
