2019 NBA-SLP Annual Conference: Why Akure? – Ayodele Akintunde, SAN
The Nigerian Bar Association Section on Legal Practice is set to wow lawyers again with a world class conference. This time, Akure, the Ondo State Capital will play host to lawyers from May 7th – 8th, when the Section will hold its 2019 Annual Conference, with the theme, ‘Value-Added Legal Services’.
The Chairman of the Conference Planning Committee, Mr. Ayodele Akintunde, SAN, acquaints conferees on what to look forward to in Akure. But the question was asked, why Akure? And he responded.
Ayodele Akintunde, SAN, said: Why not Akure? The Council of the NBA Section on Legal Practice chose Akure, Ondo State as the venue of its 2019 Annual Conference, for several reasons. Firstly, Akure, is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in South West Nigeria. Akure boasts of world class conference facilities, and hotel accommodation. For instance, the Dome International Event Centre, venue of the 2019 Annual Conference, is a state-of-the-art world class all-purpose conference centre. Akure is a city that allows an easy life, for business and pleasure. Akure is safe.

Secondly, Ondo State is one of the top States in Nigeria when it comes to tourism. Some of its tourist attractions include the Cave of Ashes Isharun, Idanre Hills and the Smoking Hills Golf course located on the outskirts of Ilara Mokin. Idanre Hills is one of the most beautiful natural landscapes in Nigeria. The conference will afford participants to explore the rich culture of Ondo State, and its tourist destinations.
Thirdly, during our NBA Section on Legal Practice Conference on Election Law and Practice in Nigeria, which was held in Port Harcourt in November, 2018, Ondo State Governor, Arakurin Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu (SAN), indicated his willingness and that of the Ondo State Government to support the hosting of the 2019 NBA Section on Legal Practice Annual Conference in Akure to make the conference a memorable one. The governor will be there to deliver the keynote speech at the opening ceremony.

And lastly, the NBA Section on Legal Practice, is being responsive to the yearning of its members to have such a conference in the region. Hosting the conference in Akure, Ondo State, will afford delegates the opportunity, to experience the hospitality of the government and people of Ondo State.
With respect to hotel accommodation for lawyers attending the conference, the CPC has negotiated discounted rates with several hotels in Akure, the Ondo State capital.

My Committee also put in place several measures to ease the financial burden of the conference especially for young lawyers. Firstly, the conference registration fees for young members is heavily discounted. You are aware of the early bird registration fee for young lawyers who are NBA-SLP members that was put at N3,000, and the early bird registration fee for young lawyers who are non-members, was for N10,000. A lot of young lawyers benefitted by as they took advantage of the early bird period. Late registration is still ongoing for both SLP members and Non SLP members.
Registration for SLP Members: Young Lawyers: N 8,000; Senior Lawyers: N10,000; SANs / Benchers: N20,000
Registration for Non SLP Members: Young Lawyers: N 15,000; Senior Lawyers: N20,000; SANs / Benchers: N30,000.

Also, we are partnering with various Branches of NBA in the State to provide free transportation to and fro the conference venue for their members – especially for young lawyers.
We have appealed to some of our senior lawyers, to sponsor young lawyers to the conference, and their response has been positive. I want to use this opportunity once again to appeal to them – our senior lawyers and Branch Chairs, to sponsor many of their young lawyers to attend the conference because we are all aware that they’re the future of our profession.
Finally, for delegates attending this year’s conference, it would ‘worth their while’.
