 It’s Sad No Woman Emerged NBA President In 30 Years – Appeal Court President


The President of the Court of Appeal of Nigeria, Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem, has called for gender equity in the leadership of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA).


“It is quite sad that we have not had a female president of the Bar for over three decades,” Justice Dongban-Mensem declared before a room crowded with legal luminaries and dignitaries on Sunday at the Eko Hotel & Suites in Lagos.


The Appeal Court president spoke at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Annual General Conference of the NBA on Sunday.


At the NBA election in July, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Afam Osigwe, emerged as the president-elect of the Bar, to take over from Yakubu Maikyau (SAN). Before Maikyau were Olumide Akpata and Paul Usoro. The list goes on.


However, Justice Dongban-Mensem said the Bar should display gender equity and justice by electing a female president.


She said, “Equity and vibrant justice, especially gender-wise, should be fortified and demonstrated in the Nigerian Bar Association.


“It is not encouraging that since the inception of the association, only one female, in the person of Dame Priscilla Kuye, ascended to the seat of the President from 1991 to 1992, in a profession that boasts near equality.


“It is quite sad that we have not had a female president of the Bar for over three decades. We cannot demand equity in a progressive society and be regressive, among our ranks. Therefore, more has to be done.”


The event with the theme, ‘Pressing Forward; A National Posture to Rebuilding Nigeria’, featured stellar personalities at home and abroad.


World Trade Organisation (WTO) chief Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala was the keynote speaker at the auspicious occasion. Former President of Ghana John Mahama was present while President Bola Tinubu was represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima.


Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Kudirat Kekere-Ekun; Senate President Godswill Akpabio and his counterpart in the lower chamber Tajudeen Abbas were also represented at the event.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the unions
