By Clementina E. Ukiri, Esq.
Distinguished Colleagues, Learned Silks, and Esteemed Members of the Bar,
As the vibrant Garden City of Port Harcourt plays host to Africa’s largest and most anticipated legal gathering, the 66th Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association (AGC 2026), I am filled with immense pride as we converge under this year's powerful and visionary theme: "Beyond Limits."
This week represents far more than an annual tradition; it is a profound testament to our collective resilience, intellectual depth, and unwavering commitment to justice, institutional reform, and the rule of law.
I extend my warmest congratulations and best wishes to:
The National Leadership, NBA Executives, and the National Executive Committee (NEC): For their visionary steering and meticulous organization of what promises to be an unforgettable benchmark in our association's history.
NBA Lagos Branch: My primary professional home, driving excellence and setting the pace from the commercial heart of the nation.
NBA Oleh, Effurun, and Ikorodu Branches: Pillars of distinction whose dedication to grassroots advocacy and professional integrity continues to strengthen the fabric of our noble profession across regions.
As we engage in rigorous plenary sessions, forge strategic partnerships, and interrogate the evolving frontiers of legal practice, let us remember that our mandate as ministers in the temple of justice requires us to look past conventional boundaries. We must rise above ordinary limitations to champion innovation, uphold ethical standards, and build a more robust legal framework for Nigeria and beyond.
Here’s to a week of transformative dialogue, renewed camaraderie, and impactful connections in Port Harcourt.
Compliments of the season to you all, and I wish every delegate a safe, inspiring, and profoundly successful conference.
Sincerely,
Clementina E. Ukiri, Esq. (DIL, B.A, LL.B, B.L)
De Dominus Litis
