The national secretariat of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) known as ‘Akeredolu House’ after a former president of the association, Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN), was lastweek in Asaba, Delta State renamed.
The NBA Secretariat was named in honour of the Akeredolu who served the Bar diligently and bought the property during his tenure as NBA President by the past administration of Joseph BodunrinDaudu (SAN).
However, the naming of the secretariat raised a lot of dust as petitions were written in protest against the action hence, the matter was brought to NEC to take a position on it.
After deliberations on the matter, the NEC resolved that the naming of the house after Akeredolu was a unilateral decision taken by the immediate past administration without the consent of the NEC.
Consequently, NEC reversed the naming. The house remains NBA House.
