NBA must defend citizens without fear or favour, says new Sokoto chairman

Barrister Bashir Muazu Jodi, the newly elected Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Sokoto Branch, has pledged to champion the independence of the legal profession in Nigeria. Speaking to journalists in Sokoto shortly after his election, Jodi outlined his commitment to upholding the rule of law and enhancing the welfare of NBA members.

Jodi emphasized his intention to ensure that the Bar defends citizens impartially and without intimidation.
