It is to be noted that such payment should be made on or before 31st March, 2017.

Please note that with effect from January 1, 2017 Bar Practicing Fee shall ONLY be paid into the following account:
Account Name: Supreme Court Bar Practicing Fees Account.
Account Number:0000976716
Bank: Access Bank Plc
Compliments of the season. Wishing us all a more fruitful year.
Hope we all have got NBA stamps. Enforcement has commenced in courts and government agencies. Non adherence will surely be a preliminary objection. Supreme Court holds that documents without NBA stamps are voidable albeit not void. I urge you to endeavour to apply and obtain your own NBA seal. Presently, stamps issued since 2015 expired on 31 March, 2016 birthing the need for new stamps.
