Why this convening exists

Every major legal outcome in Nigeria today sits beside a financial statement, a tax position, or an audit opinion. Yet the professions that produce these rarely share one room. The A.U. Mustapha & Co. / NBA Ilorin Annual Public Lecture was conceived to close that gap — an annual gathering, hosted in Ilorin and open to the country, where legal practitioners, accountants, tax advisers, auditors and researchers examine the same hard questions from their respective benches.

This inaugural edition sets the format the lecture will keep: one keynote address from a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, a cross-sector panel, and a working audience of practitioners rather than spectators. Attendance is free and open to members of the Bar, the profession at large, and the public — in person in Ilorin, or live online from anywhere.
