It is recalled that the spate of conflicting ex-parte orders from the lower courts has taken a frenzied turn recently, leading to interventions by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Ibrahim Muhammad, as well as the NBA.
NBA-SPIDEL is adjudged as one of the foremost NBA sections.
The section held a highly successful Annual Conference last May in the ancient city of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
