The President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Mazi Afam Osigwe, SAN, this morning led lawyers on the traditional NBA Health Walk in Enugu, as part of activities marking the 2025 Annual General Conference of the Association.
The walk, which has become an integral feature of the NBA Annual General Conference, served as a reminder of the importance of fitness and wellness in the legal profession. Speaking at the event, the NBA President emphasized that the legal profession often demands long hours, intense focus, and great physical and mental strain, making it imperative for lawyers to prioritize their health.
”The health walk is more than a routine; it reinforces the fact that staying fit is essential for sustaining the strength and clarity we need to serve justice and society,” he said.
He further described the health walk as an energizing way to begin the conference, noting that before delving into the intellectual sessions, robust debates, and social engagements that define the NBA Annual General Conference, it is vital for lawyers to take care of their bodies and minds.
The event, which drew wide participation from delegates, was marked by camaraderie, joy, and a shared commitment to wellness. The President commended the enthusiasm of lawyers who joined the walk, reaffirming that while the Bar stands tall for justice, it must also stand strong in health.
The 2025 Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association is taking place in Enugu from 22nd to 29th August, under the theme “Stand Out, Stand Tall.”
