Dear Colleague,

Recall that one of the innovations in the recently amended NBA Constitution 2021, is the establishment of a Lawyers in Diaspora Forum (LDF).  The forum is to serve as a platform to connect and provide a voice for all persons qualified to practice law in Nigeria, but resident outside Nigeria. This forum will also serve as a structured platform through which all lawyers in the diaspora may contribute their quota - individually and collectively - to the development of the Nigerian Bar, the Nigerian legal system, and the practice of law in Nigeria.

To join this forum, a prospective member must (i) be qualified to practice law in Nigeria; (ii) belong to a branch of the NBA; (iii) have paid his/her Bar Practice Fees; and (iv) be resident outside Nigeria. Anyone who meets these requirements is urged to kindly complete this form.

Kindly note that the personal data provided while completing this form will be used strictly by the NBA to maintain a central register for NBA lawyers in the diaspora and for communicating directly with its members on matters relating to the NBA generally, or to the forum specifically.

If you have any questions or require any assistance, kindly contact Dr Rapulu Nduka at rapulu.nduka@nigerianbar.org.ng or Kenneth Okwor at kenneth.okwor@templars-law.com
