The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has suspended its former General Secretary, Mr. Nimi Walson-Jack as a member of the NBA National Executive Council (NBA-NEC). The body’s decision follows its resolutions of December 15, 2022, which also stripped him of all privileges accruing to him as a past General Secretary. Walson-Jack who acted as NBA General Secretary between 2004 and 2006, has however protested his suspension, saying it violated the NBA Constitution and also breached his right to fair hearing.
