Dear Esteemed Colleagues,
The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) remains unwavering in its commitment to the effective enforcement of the Legal Practitioners’ Remuneration Order (LPRO) 2023, which was enacted to guarantee fair and standardized remuneration for legal practitioners across the country.
We call on all lawyers to remain vigilant and to report any observed or experienced violations of the Remuneration Order. Timely reporting is essential to the success of our collective advocacy for dignity and fairness in the legal profession.
To report a violation, kindly contact the Programme Officer on:
08033888791
Your cooperation in this regard will help strengthen compliance and protect the interests of all legal practitioners, especially young lawyers who are most vulnerable to exploitative practices.
We commend the visionary leadership of the NBA President, Mazi Afam Osigwe, SAN, and the Chairman of the NBA Remuneration Committee, Chief Emeka JP Obegolu, SAN, for their dedication to ensuring that the LPRO is fully implemented and respected by all stakeholders in the justice sector.
Their efforts have been instrumental in advancing the welfare and professional standing of Nigerian lawyers.
Let us continue to work together to build a Bar where professionalism is rewarded, and respect for the law begins within the legal profession itself.
Yours faithfully,
Signed:
Chief Emeka JP Obegolu, SAN
Chairman, NBA National Remuneration Committee
Racheal Princewill, Esq.
Secretary, NBA National Remuneration Committee
