Newly sworn-in president of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), AFAM OSIGWE has promised that the association under his watch will hold governments at all levels to account, including and especially the federal and state governments.

OSIGWE, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, gave these assurances while delivering his inaugural speech at the inauguration ceremony of the 32nd President and National Officers of the NBA in Lagos State.

He said his administration will work towards ensuring that government’s policies and programmes meet the yearnings and aspirations of the people, as they relate to the provision of good governance, transparency in financial expenditures, reducing drastically the cost of governance and ensuring that the welfare of the people is given topmost priority.

He also promised to run an all-inclusive bar that keeps the association not only united but moves the NBA forward.

OSIGWE will lead the NBA alongside other newly sworn-in national officers of the bar for the next two years.

The inauguration of the new President and National Officers of the NBA brings to a close the week-long annual general conference of the association which began on August by 23rd.
