Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) President, Mr. Yakubu Maikyau, SAN, announced during the National Executive Council (NEC) held on the 23rd, March, 2023 in Kebbi State that the NBA has been engaging with the leadership of security agencies to ensure the engagement of lawyers from across the country into law enforcement agencies in a bid to ensure greater compliance with the rule of law by government agencies.

Mr. Maikyau also announced to NEC that the NBA Employment Bureau should be notified by legal practitioners whose applications for employment have been received by the respective law enforcement Agencies.

Recall that the NBA President in his manifesto had promised to establish an Employment Bureau charged with the responsibility of interacting/interfacing with Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) both at the Federal, State and Local Government levels, including the Armed Forces, Police and other paramilitary organisations, to seek placements for our members.

Consequently, the NBA President constituted the NBA Employment Bureau on the 17th September, 2022.

Other highlights from NEC include the introduction of security features on the

NBA Stamp and the introduction of QR Codes on NBA stickers.
