Four years after its last publication, the President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Olumide Akpata, has announced the release of the two issues of the Nigerian Bar Journal.
Akpata, in a statement on Wednesday, said, “On February 28, 2021, I announced the appointment of members of the Editorial Committee, amongst other standing and ad-hoc committees of the Nigerian Bar Association to help my team and I in delivering on your mandate to us. The selfless service that members of the various committees have rendered to our association in the last six months deserves our commendation.
“When the Editorial Committee was set up, its core mandate was to produce a world-class journal befitting of an association like ours with prospects of expanding the frontiers of our legal jurisprudence. For a knowledge-based profession like ours, in which most of our members are keen to share ideas through intellectual works, and others are eager to acquaint themselves with scholarly analysis of recent trends in the field of legal practice, achieving this was very important.
“It is, therefore, with great pleasure that I announce to you the publication of two issues of the Nigerian Bar Journal – Vols. 11 Nos. 1 & 2 2021.
Akpata expressed gratitude to the members of the Editorial Committee, led by Prof. U. Chukwumaeze (SAN), for the remarkable dedication and commitment they gave to the task.
He added that plans were already underway to post the journal online so as to improve its global visibility and project its brand beyond Nigeria.
