Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya is sworn in as the 33rd President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), with her predecessor, Afam Osigwe, formally handing over office. Multiple outlets report that Osigwe administers the oath and that the transition is marked by a farewell address in which he gives Badejo-Okusanya a handover note as he exits the role.
The swearing-in ceremony takes place in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on a Friday, according to the reports. Sources describe the event as the end of Osigwe’s tenure and the start of Badejo-Okusanya’s term. While all accounts focus on the inauguration and the leadership handover, they differ slightly in emphasis: some highlight the immediate swearing-in and inauguration details, while others add background about Badejo-Okusanya’s NBA involvement and her expectations to continue strengthening the association’s watchdog role for justice.
Overall, the coverage aligns on the key elements of the leadership change—who takes office, who presides over the oath, where it occurs, and that the event marks Osigwe’s departure.
