Different persons with their opinions about the NBA Conference holding in Enugu
Well… Let me share with you the five reasons why Enugu became the chosen host city for this prestigious legal gathering:
𝟭. 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱-𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀
The newly completed International Conference Centre in Enugu, boasting a capacity for over 6,000 attendees, will serve as the primary venue. This isn’t just about having a big space – it’s about having the right space. The city possesses the infrastructure and capacity to host a conference of that scale and significance. It’s purpose-built for global standard events.
𝟮. 𝗔 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗨𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝗺𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀
Initially, the conference was supposed to hold in Port Harcourt, but circumstances changed. Prior to the declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State on March 18, 2025, registration figures had soared, showing there was real excitement. When the NBA had to make a quick decision, they chose wisely. Enugu stepped up when it mattered most.
𝟯. 𝗚𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗚𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀:
The Enugu State Government isn’t just hosting – they’re actively facilitating, partnering. The Enugu State Government has announced the suspension of all transport enforcement activities following the 2025 Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) Conference, to facilitate smooth movement during the conference.. Thoughtful yeah😅
𝟰. 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲
There’s something beautifully symbolic about the biggest gathering of lawyers heads to the Coal City – Enugu. This city has always been a center of commerce and learning in the Southeast. It’s not just about the past- it’s about a city that has evolved and modernized while maintaining its rich heritage.
𝟱. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀
This isn’t Enugu’s first rodeo when it comes to hosting major conferences. The city has successfully hosted significant gatherings before, and the brand-new International Conference Centre (ICC) shows they’re serious about positioning themselves as a premier destination for high-profile conferences.

“Enugu didn’t just win this because Port Harcourt lost it. Enugu earned it.” And honestly, that’s the truth right there. Nigeria’s legal community is getting an excellent venue with a government that’s genuinely committed to making the conference a success.
The NBA conference holding in Enugu isn’t just convenient – it’s strategic and well-planned.
