The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has unveiled the theme and logo of its 2026 Annual General Conference (AGC) in Abuja, with a call on Nigerians to contribute to the fight against insecurity and economic challenges.

The theme of the conference: “Beyond limit”, the NBA said, called for action for lawyers and other stakeholders to rise up to the task of nation-building instead of complaining.

Speaking at the unveiling ceremony at the NBA House in Abuja, the Chairman of the planning committee of the 2026 NBA-AGC, Mr Mohammed Abdul, SAN, said the theme of this year’s annual conference of the association is a call to action for every lawyer in Nigeria to rise above challenges and push boundaries.

He said, beyond limits was chosen as the theme of the conference because the Bar wants to go beyond the outdated system, beyond complacency, division, fear and societal expectations.

“It is about innovations, transcending boundaries and achieving excellence in justice, integrity and nation building”, the chairman of the planning committee of the NBA AGC said and added that the AGC logo for 2026 was carefully chosen and carefully designed to meet the theme of the year.

Mohammed said: “To meet this criterion, we chose the mountain. Recall the trials humanity had before we conquered Mount Everest. The peak of the mountain depicts the zenith, the highest point a person can physically reach or attain. However, this mountain in our logo is slanted sideways. This is to show that you could go beyond that limit, as we have no limitations.”

In his speech at the event, the President of the NBA, Mazi Afam Osigwe, SAN, said that legal practitioners, Nigerians and Nigeria as a country must stand out and learn to do things differently in tackling the economic challenges, the security challenges and taking bold steps to make for a stronger nation.
