The Nigerian Bar Association, Sokoto Branch (Caliphate Bar), is set to hold its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Saturday, 20th June 2026, at Soul Care Garden Hotel, Sokoto, by 10:00 a.m.
The meeting will mark the second and final AGM under the leadership of Rashidat Mohammed, Esq., Chairman of the Branch, whose administration is widely regarded as a period of steady progress, institutional strengthening, and impactful service delivery.
The AGM is expected to provide members with a comprehensive platform to review the activities, milestones, and achievements recorded under the outgoing administration, while also setting the tone for strategic reflections on the future direction of the Branch.
In a remarkable and symbolic show of unity and recognition, this year’s AGM will be hosted by six distinguished female elders of the Bar, namely:
- Zainab Ibrahim Gandi, Esq.
- Aisha Muhammad Dantsoho, Esq., MNI
- Aisha Ahmad Kaoje, Esq.
- Aishatu Abdullahi Illo, Esq.
- Dr. Safiyya Ummu Mohammed, Esq.
- His Worship Fatima Umar Dewa, Esq.
Their role as hosts underscores the growing influence, leadership, and contributions of women within the legal profession, particularly in Sokoto State, and reflects a broader culture of inclusion and professional solidarity within the Bar.
Beyond its statutory obligations, the AGM remains a vital forum for accountability, reflection, and constructive engagement on issues affecting the Branch and the wider legal profession. It also provides members with an opportunity to celebrate achievements, strengthen professional bonds, and contribute meaningfully to shaping the future of the Branch.
As the tenure of the current administration gradually draws to a close, the AGM is expected to stand as a defining milestone in the history of the Caliphate Bar—one that highlights commitment to excellence, service, and the promotion of the rule of law.
The NBA Sokoto Branch reiterates its dedication to advancing the welfare of its members and upholding the core values and objectives of the Nigerian Bar Association.
Indeed, the event symbolises a powerful message of continuity, leadership, and women’s active role in shaping the legal profession—women supporting women in the service of justice.
