In what many are calling a rousing call to national and professional duty, Olumuyiwa Akinboro, SAN, one of Nigeria’s most respected legal luminaries, has added his distinguished voice to the growing momentum behind the 2025 Nigerian Bar Association Annual General Conference (NBA-AGC) scheduled to take place in Enugu.
Echoing the powerful theme of this year’s Conference — “Stand Out, Stand Tall” — the learned Silk delivered a message that resonates far beyond the confines of a routine invitation.
His words carry the weight of conviction and the clarity of vision that only years of advocacy and statesmanship can forge.
“To stand out, stand tall, are the basics needed to ‘boldly’ chart the course for Nigeria’s nation building,” Akinboro SAN declared, highlighting the critical intersection between legal leadership and national development.
He emphasized that now more than ever, lawyers must take a principled stand — not just in courtrooms, but in the broader terrain of governance, justice, and socio-economic transformation.
According to him, the courage to chart bold courses begins with the confidence to stand tall in one’s convictions — a charge he believes the Bar is more than ready to answer.
“A conducive environment will be ideal for such discourse,” he continued, turning his gaze to the host city. “The ancient Coal City is no doubt a suitable place for this purpose and unequivocally the best choice. Expecting you in Enugu soon.”
With these words, Akinboro SAN paints a picture of Enugu not just as a location, but as a symbol — a place where the past meets the future, where history’s echoes empower today’s conversations, and where the Bar will again gather to challenge itself, renew its purpose, and uplift the nation.
For lawyers across the federation and the diaspora, this is more than a conference. It is a clarion call. And from the resounding voice of Olumuyiwa Akinboro, SAN, the message is clear:
Come. Stand out. Stand tall. Enugu awaits.
