The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Gboko Branch, has called on lawyers to fulfill their responsibilities by actively seeking practical legal solutions to Nigeria's ongoing challenges. This appeal was made during the 2026 Law Week, where the chairman, Felix Zahemen, emphasized the importance of addressing the country's persistent issues through legal means.

The 66th Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association concluded in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, after running from 21 to 28 August 2026 under the theme "Beyond Limits". According to The Tide, thousands of lawyers, judges, policymakers and other stakeholders gathered in the city to deliberate on the state of the legal profession in Nigeria. The report reflects on the key matters and outcomes arising from the week-long gathering.

The Tide reports that Mrs. Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya has been inaugurated as the 33rd President of the Nigerian Bar Association and used her inaugural address to pledge a united, inclusive and bolder Bar. According to the report, she said the association should respond more effectively to challenges facing Nigeria’s legal profession, emphasizing cohesion within the Bar after taking the oath of office.

Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, has widened her lead over rivals Akangbe and Akinboro in the Nigerian Bar Association presidential election, according to the African Examiner. Results tallied by the association's Electoral Committee as of 7:30 p.m. Saturday show her moving closer to becoming the NBA's first elected female president. She is contesting to succeed the current NBA President, Afam Osigwe (SAN).

Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya has been elected the 33rd president of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), according to African Examiner. The association's electoral committee, the ECNBA, announced the result on Sunday at the NBA national secretariat in Abuja. ECNBA Chairman Aham Ejelam said Badejo-Okusanya secured 12,317 votes, representing 47.18 per cent of the total votes cast in the election. The announcement confirms her as the new head of Nigeria's foremost professional body for legal practitioners.

The legal team of the All Progressives Congress in Osun State has denied filing any petition before the state governorship election tribunal challenging the outcome of the August 15 election, according to Vanguard. The denial came after notices of petitions were pasted on Monday on the tribunal's notice board in Osogbo. The APC lawyers distanced themselves from the notices, though further details about who filed the petitions or the tribunal's response were not provided in the report.
