The newly sworn-in President of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Afam Osigwe, has made his first set of appointments upon assumption of office.

Osigwe appointed human rights lawyer, Barrister Deji Adeyanju, Inibehe Effiong, Maxwell Opara, and others to the newly established Citizens’ Liberties Committee, CLC.

The new NBA President made the announcement after his inaugural speech at the association’s conference in Lagos.

Osigwe, who succeeded Mr. Yakubu Maikyau, took the oath of office on Thursday, officially beginning his tenure as the leader of the prestigious legal body.

Elected in July 2024, Osigwe aims to continue the work of his predecessor, whose term concluded at the conference.

In his inaugural address, Osigwe emphasized his commitment to ensuring that the NBA remains a powerful voice in Nigeria’s democratic process.

He stated that under his leadership, the association will not shy away from holding both federal and state governments accountable.

“The rule of law must be upheld, and the rights of Nigerians must be protected,” he asserted.

To bolster the protection of citizens’ rights and liberties, Osigwe established the Citizens’ Liberties Committee, appointing Nuhu Egya as Chairman, Malachy Ugwumadu as Alternate Chair, and including Adeyanju, Inibehe Effiong, and Maxwell Opara as members.

Osigwe explained that the CLC will collaborate with NBA branches to liaise with Chief Judges across the states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The committee is tasked with ensuring that all police stations and detention facilities in Nigeria are inspected monthly by Magistrates and Judges, in accordance with the Administration of Criminal Justice Act.

Additionally, the committee will direct the Human Rights Committees of each NBA branch to accompany Chief Magistrates and Judges on these inspections, further promoting transparency and accountability within the justice system.

Citizens will also be encouraged to participate in monitoring these facilities and to report their findings through the Human Rights Committees.

Reacting, Adeyanju expressed his gratitude and enthusiasm for his appointment, stating, “I am honored to be appointed to the Citizens’ Liberties Committee and appreciate the trust placed in me by President Osigwe. This committee represents a crucial step towards reinforcing the protection of human rights and civil liberties in Nigeria.”

Highlighting the importance of this initiative amidst growing concerns for citizens’ rights, he added, “Our mission will be to advocate for justice, uphold the rule of law, and ensure that the voices of the marginalized are heard. Together, we will strive to create a society where every individual’s rights are respected and protected.”

Adeyanju also called on fellow legal professionals to join in the fight for equality and justice, emphasizing that “collaborative efforts are essential for meaningful change.”

He reiterated his commitment to working diligently with other committee members to address pressing issues affecting citizens and promote a culture of human rights across the nation.
