My active participation in the NBL-SBL led to my election in 2012, as Secretary. I was subsequently elected Vice-Chairman in 2014 and Chairman in 2016.
I have known Olu Akpata for over 20 years and within these years one thing has remained constant, honesty, honesty and honesty. His drive for excellence is amazing and second to none. Any assignment entrusted to him comes back 100 times better ... I am convinced beyond measures that giving him the mantle of leadership will not only transform the NBA and the legal profession in Nigeria, but it will be an association that we shall all be proud of.
