Y.C. Maikyau, SAN Congratulates NBA Women’s Forum Bayelsa As It Holds Maiden Meeting

As the Nigerian Bar Association Women Forum (NBA-WF) Bayelsa State holds its maiden meeting, may I express my heartfelt felicitations to the leadership and members of this great forum on this auspicious occasion of its maiden meeting.

I am aware that the NBAWF was first created in 2006 by the Olisa Agbakoba, SAN-led administration but later became inactive. Then through the resilience and doggedness of our dear women in the profession, the NBAWF was reinstated at the NBA AGM on 29th August 2019 and has since been going from strength to strength.

I am a very firm advocate of the fact that having women leaders in positions of influence to serve as role models is not only critical to the career advancement of women but also generates broader societal impacts benefiting women, men and the Nation.

I believe the NBAWF has come to stay and should be strengthened and encouraged to not only achieve on its mandate but also surpass same, of which I assure you of my support in this regard.

While wishing you very fruitful deliberations, I urge you to come out with resolutions that will impact positively not only on success of women in the profession but also in our dear Nation.

Long Live NBAWF Bayelsa State!
Long Live Nigerian Bar Association (NBA)!!
Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria !!!
