The 33rd annual conference themed: A Call To Service In A Troubled Nigeria, held between 22nd and 23rd.

Speaking at the conference, Comrade Osagie Obayuwana and Mr. Femi Falana, SAN, joined voices to sue for committed spirit to free Nigeria from the grips of bad rulers.

Among the newly elected executives is Comrade Folarin Olayinka as national secretary with Kabir Ibrahim as the assistant national secretary.

Comrade Helen Akomolafe got elected as a national auditor and Comrade Afeez Olayinka as national publicity secretary.
Comrade Henry Ekineh, former publicity secretary now takes charge as the national legal adviser and Comrade Sola Kolawole is elected as national treasurer.
