The Nigerian Bar Association Institute of Continuing Legal Education (NBA-ICLE) has communicated its decision to award three Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points to all delegates at the forthcoming Annual Conference of the Section on Public Interest and Development Law (SPIDEL).
The decision was communicated to the Chair of the SPIDEL Annual Conference Planning Committee, Assoc. Prof. Uju Agomoh through a letter signed by the Director of NBA-ICLE, Sarah Omega Ajijola.
The conference is scheduled to hold from December 1 to December 5, 2025, at the prestigious Ibom Hotels and Golf Resort in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital. To register, click here http://nbaspidel.ng/.
Dated 27th November, 2025, the letter referenced SPIDEL’s application for accreditation of the eagerly awaited conference, and stated that “We are pleased to inform you that your application has been approved.”
It is recalled that NBA had directed that all legal practitioners must complete at least 5 CPD hours annually to be eligible for Practice Licence renewal. The CPD hours must be acquired only through NBA-ICLE-accredited programmes covering legal practice, ethics, and professional development.
Practitioners who fail to meet the MCPD requirements will not be granted licence renewal. Such practitioners shall also be denied access to the NBA Stamp and Seal, effectively preventing them from authenticating legal documents.
NBA-ICLE, in partnership with the NBA National Secretariat, will publish an annual list of both compliant and non-compliant lawyers to enhance transparency and ensure integrity within the profession.
