JONATHAN GUNU TAIDI Candidate for NBA President, felicitates the Governing Council and members of the Eastern Bar Forum on her Quarterly General Meeting holding in Calabar Cross Ri

I felicitate with the Governing Council and Members of the Eastern Bar Forum on her Quarterly General Meeting holding in Calabar, Cross River State between 3 - 5 June, 2022.

The quarterly meeting of this Forum serves the quite useful purpose of bringing together like minds united by geographical location within Nigeria to discuss issues of common interest for the advancement of its members.

There is no doubt that a common challenge confronting the region today, as it is in other parts of Nigeria, is insecurity. Therefore, discussions at this meeting ought to deliberately interrogate the remote causes of this menace with a view to proffering solutions, something which has so far eluded our leaders.

I enjoin members while enjoying the hospitality of the tourist hub not to lose sight of the other numerous issues confronting the legal profession within the region in particular and Nigeria in general.

I wish all attendees journey mercies.

Jonathan Gunu Taidi, Esq.
Candidate for NBA President
