NBA Lagos Election Committee plans Chairmanship Debate for Manifesto Day

The NBA Lagos Branch 2017 Election Committee is organizing a
Manifesto Day for candidates seeking election into the vacant
offices in the NBA Lagos Branch Executive Committee. The Manifesto
Day will feature presentations by the respective candidates and a
Chairmanship Debate for Chairmanship candidates which will be
powered by Ask a Lawyer Forum.

Manifesto Day is the day candidates who seek election into the
Branch’s executive committee present their manifesto to colleagues
and members of the branch.

With the theme “Enhancing Legal Practice”,
Chairmanship candidates will engage each other in debate to address
issues that are of paramount importance to members of the Branch.
According to Ask a lawyer Convener, Imran Shitta-Bey, this will not
only help members learn about the position of candidates on such
issues but also help members gauge the suitability of candidates
for the exalted office of Chairman.

Inspired by the US presidential debate, the Chairmanship debate
will be in 4 segments of 15 minutes each. Each segment will focus
on an issue germane to legal practice. Candidates will each present
their position on such issue and thereafter engage each other in
open debate. The debate will end with closing remarks from the
candidates (3 minutes), who would each highlight why they believe
they are best suited for the job.

Manifesto Day comes up today Friday 14th July, 2017 at 2 pm at
the Lagos High Court Foyer and commences with presentation by
candidates for the other offices up for election. The Branch
election itself comes up on Monday 17th, July, 2017.
