FORMER NBA PRESIDENT, OLUMIDE AKPATA LEAVES LAW FIRM TO PURSUE POLITICAL AMBITION
Olumide Akpata, the immediate past president of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), has left his position as senior partner at Templars, a prestigious law firm.
The former NBA President officially informed the firm’s partners and management of his decision to engage in active politics on August 24, 2023, and in accordance with the firm’s governance protocols, it was decided that he would leave the firm with effect from Thursday, August 31, 2023.
