5KM Health Walk Set For NBA 2025 Conference In Enugu

The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) will open its 2025 Annual General Conference with a 5KM health walk on Saturday, August 23, 2025.

The walk begins at 7:00 a.m. from Michael Okpara Square, Enugu, where participants will gather for the early morning exercise. According to the organisers, the health walk highlights the importance of fitness and wellness among legal practitioners across Nigeria and beyond.

Planning Committee Chairman, Chief Emeka Obegolu, SAN, said the walk is a unifying activity for members ahead of the conference. He explained that the NBA leadership wanted to combine professional enrichment with health consciousness at this year’s gathering.

The event also reflects the theme of the conference, “Stand Out, Stand Tall,” which emphasises resilience, excellence, and professional relevance. NBA President, Mazi Afam Osigwe, SAN, commended the committee’s preparation and described the walk as a strong symbol of unity.

He said the health walk provides lawyers with an opportunity to exercise, network, and reaffirm their collective commitment to well-being. The President also assured delegates that the wider conference would be both impactful and memorable for all participants.

The walk is expected to attract thousands of delegates, including senior lawyers, young practitioners, judges, and legal scholars. Organisers encouraged participants to come ready to walk together and build momentum for the sessions that follow.

This year’s conference features debates, panel sessions, and exhibitions, while the health walk serves as its official curtain-raiser. Officials added that the NBA’s inclusion of wellness activities reflects a holistic approach to the professional and social lives of members.
