The Nigerian Bar Association Association, NBA, Anambra Branches, has postponed its leadership summit themed: “LEADERSHIP IN CONTEMPORARY TIMES, CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS” which was originally slated for Friday, October 8, 2021 to hold at Oma Event Centre, Awka, Anambra State.

The postponement is contained in a Notice signed by the Chairman of the Planning Committee, Steve Onyechi Ononye, who said the decision is due to the security situation of Anambra State.

“The general insecurity situation in Anambra State has become intractable and appears to be beyond the control of State Security agencies. Consequent upon the above development, and after wide and due consultations with necessary stakeholders, it is the general consensus that the Leadership Symposium scheduled to hold on Friday, 8th day of October, 2021 be postponed until normalcy returns in the State.” Ononye said

He explained that postponement was a very difficult decision considering the efforts put towards the preparation of the event.

He thanked the Committee of Chairmen and Secretaries of NBA Branches in Anambra State, members of the local organizing committee and every other person who has contributed towards the planning of the event.

According to him, a new date will be announced when the security situation gets better.

He said, “Gentlemen, the above decision is a very difficult one considering the effort and commitments that have been put towards the preparation of the event.

“May I at this juncture thank the Committee of Chairmen and Secretaries of NBA Branches in Anambra State, members of the local organizing committee and every other person who has contributed towards the planning of the event.

“We shall continue to communicate and update ourselves as we watch the security situation in the State.”
