Customarily pre-Conference NEC, is basically, a two agenda meeting.
1.ratify all actions taken by the Conference Planning Committee under the approval of the Exco.
2.Introduction of newly elected Chairmen and Secretaries of Branches to NEC.
But there is disquiet, an uneasy calm and apprehension over the pre-Conference NEC of 2024. We are reliably informed that this has to do with the Iraq-Iran kind of war between the NBA President and the NBA Treasurer.
Confirmed audio through the bush-telegram has it that, a motion will be moved by a Branch Chairman, sympathetic to the NBA President, to urge NEC to suspend the NBA Treasurer.
The motion will be predicated on the premise that the Treasurer had petitioned the NBA President and further avowed not to present any Treasurer’s report, akin to what played out at AGM held in Abuja. Supporters of the President are braying for blood and have dug in that the suspension of the Treasurer, is the only Apian way to get the Financial Report of NBA Presented to lawyers at AGM without the embattled Treasurer embarrassing the Bar.

Supporters of the Treasurer, are not leaving any stone unturned and have drawn a long sword, warning that any suspension of the Treasurer at the pre-Conference NEC, will doom the entire Conference. They call for caution, pointing fingers at the Joyce Oduah-Akpata debacle.
Pundits and watchers of Bar activities, have bought popcorn and beer, earnestly waiting for the pre-Conference NEC, scheduled to hold on Saturday 24th August at Nigerian Law School, Lagos Campus by 2pm.
