NBA President Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya SAN has actually established a three-member committee to examine claims of misbehavior in how the N100 million present from the Imo State Government to the NBA Owerri Branch was gotten, handled and invested.
The relocation follows issues from branch members and a demand by 183 of them for an Extraordinary General Meeting.
In a declaration on Thursday on her authorities deal with, she stated the funds require a clear account and a reasonable evaluation.
The committee has 3 members: NBA General Secretary Afam Okeke, Third Vice-President Iniobong Irene Pepple, and Treasurer Esther Jimoh.
The committee will inspect monetary records, speak with those included and report back by October 30, 2026.
The EGM set for Thursday, October 15, at 2pm will go on, with committee members participating in as her agents to keep order and record presence.
She worried that forming the panel does not indicate anybody is guilty.
Anybody whose conduct is questioned will get a possibility to react, and all monetary records need to be protected.
I have actually made up a three-member committee to examine accusations of impropriety worrying the invoice, management and dispensation of the 100 million present from the Imo State Government to the NBA Owerri Branch. The committee consists of the NBA General Secretary, Afam Okeke; Third Vice-President, Iniobong Irene Pepple; and Treasurer, Esther Jimoh. This intervention follows issues raised by members of the Branch and an appropriation by 183 members for an Extraordinary General Meeting. The committee will analyze pertinent monetary records, get representations from those worried, and send its findings and suggestions to me no behind 30 October 2026. The committee will go to the Extraordinary General Meeting set up for Thursday, 15 October 2026, at 2:00 p.m. as my agents, to observe procedures and support an organized conference. It is necessary to stress that the constitution of the committee does not total up to a finding versus anyone. Everybody whose conduct is cast doubt on will be offered a reasonable chance to react. All pertinent monetary records should be maintained and provided to help with an extensive assessment. As President of the Nigerian Bar Association, I stay dedicated to guaranteeing that issues raised by members are dealt with through a reasonable, transparent and organized procedure. Responsibility needs to work together with due procedure, and our reaction needs to sustain members’ self-confidence in the Association. Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya, SAN, FCIArb President, Nigerian Bar Association.
