As stipulated by the Constitution, these 150 members include 30 Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs); 30 Senior Members (other than SANs) who are over 25 years post call; 45 active members of 10 years post call and above but below 25 years post call; 10 past National Officers other than Past Presidents and General Secretaries; 20 members of special interest groups within the NBA and 15 active members who are less than 10 years post call.
The NBA NEC is the highest decision-making organ of the Association, next to the Annual General Meeting, and its scheduled meetings are held quarterly.
This co-option, therefore, is a call to service and there are no financial emoluments (however defined) attached to same.
