As the legal profession called to Bar new entrants, the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has given direction on payment of practising fees by the ‘new wigs’.
This is contained in a circular made available to journalists and issued by NBA National Publicity Secretary, Dr. Rapulu Nduka.
According to the NBA, payment of the practising fee by the new entrants can only be made online through the NBA portal.
“In line with the rules, the new entrants are mandated to pay their Bar Practising Fee (BPF).
“Consequently, BPF payment by new entrants to the Bar can only be made through the NBA Online Payment Portal,” the NBA stated.
The circular advised the new entrants to visit the NBA website: https:.org. and type their examination numbers and provide other needed information.
“New entrants experiencing challenge(s) in the use of the online payment portal should kindly send emails to: support@nigerianbar.org.ng or efuwape.oluwole@nigerianbar.org.ng,” it said.
It also advised new entrants encountering any challenge to contact NBA help lines including 08035479443, 07037000903 and 08033803724.
