When conversations turn to legal scholarship, policy insight, and institutional reform within Nigeria’s justice system, Prof. David Agbu stands out as a respected voice of authority and depth. A renowned academic and the Chairman of the Tax Appeal Tribunal (North-Central Zone), Prof. Agbu has built a distinguished reputation at the intersection of law, governance, and public policy.
With decades of experience in research, public administration, and legal reform discourse, Prof. Agbu has consistently demonstrated that the legal profession must remain a driving force in shaping a more responsive and effective justice system. His work continues to highlight the vital role lawyers play, not merely as practitioners of the law, but as critical agents of institutional transformation and national development.
It is therefore with great anticipation that the Nigerian Bar Association, Gombe Branch, announces that Prof. David Agbu will be speaking at the NBA Gombe Branch Law Week 2026, contributing his wealth of knowledge to the central theme:
“Strengthening Justice Through Reforms: Lawyers as Agents of Change.”
Scheduled to hold from 15th – 21st May, 2026, the Law Week will convene legal practitioners, scholars, and stakeholders from across the profession to examine practical pathways for reforming justice delivery in Nigeria. The week-long programme promises stimulating intellectual engagement, policy conversations, and meaningful networking opportunities for members of the Bar.
Set within the vibrant and evolving legal community of Gombe State, the event will serve as a strategic platform for reflecting on the profession’s responsibility in advancing reforms that strengthen the rule of law and promote public confidence in legal institutions.
As preparations gather momentum, members of the Bar and the wider legal community are encouraged to mark their calendars and participate in what promises to be a thought-provoking and impactful Law Week.
