ECNBA Announces Call For Nominations, Sets April 5th Deadline

The Electoral Committee of the Nigerian Bar Association, ECNBA has released the date for the NBA National Elections 2024.

In the ECNBA Notice titled ECNBA NOTICE NO 2 signed by the Chairman of the Committee Oluseun Abimbola SAN and the Secretary, Huwaila Ibrahim dated 26th February 2024, the ECNBA stated that the NBA Election for National Officers and members of the general council of the Bar will take place in 20th July 2024.

The notice reads:

ELECTORAL COMMITTEE OF THE NIGERIAN BAR ASSOCIATION

Distinguished Colleagues

In addition to the preliminary notice of election contained in ECNBA notice No. 2, issued on the 1st day of March 2024, we observed typographical errors regarding the NEC approval date and the zoning classification of one of the offices.

The same has since been corrected on Notice no 2, as contained on our website at www.ecnba.org. For the avoidance of doubt, the zoning classification for the 2024 NBA National Election is as follows:
