"Y. C. MAIKYAU, SAN "GETS IT RIGHT" AT NBA AGM: YOUR BOLD STEP IS HIGHLY COMMENDABLE" Meti M. Ukpeh, Esq., Uyo-based Human Rights Lawyer Lauds  Assuredly, the NBA AGC might have rounded off and its dust rested, but the trails of events permeate and linger on the subconsciousness of both conferees and the legal profession as a whole A stroke of reminiscence plunges me, particularly, to the aftermath, the carcass and the unbridled stench of the AGM, hence, many questions begging, to wit: Is NBA purse a free for all? What example are some NBA officers setting for the secular politics?  Don't these officers have conscience?  Must they mortgage their integrity for a pair of shoes?, et Al.  The heart-thrusting response of the NBA President at the AGM to some national officers, especially, the 2nd, 3rd Vice President and the Treasurer, illuminates a man who is hellbent on "Getting it Right" for the purse of the noble association against the hawk-s...

MAIKYAU, SAN: A CALL ON NBA TO REVISIT THE 2015 COURT OF APPEAL JUDGEMENT ON SCUML REGISTRATION My learned silk, may I warmly congratulate you once again on assumption of office.  Humbly sir, it is no longer news that the new law, MONEY LAUNDERING (PREVENTION AND PROHIBITION) ACT, 2022, has listed law firms as one of the non-financial institutions that must register with Special Control Unit against Money Laundering.  With respect sir, as you are already aware, the argument on whether or not a law firm requires SCUML certificate was settled in 2015 when the Court of Appeal ruled that "law firms are excluded from providing SCUML certificate in the course of their operations in order to comply with the rule of confidentiality for legal practitioners". (See Registered Trustees of Nigerian Bar Association V. AGF & CBN (Suit No: FHC/BS/173/2014) and; CBN V. ...
