UNECA was established in 1958 by the United Nations Economic and Social Council to encourage economic cooperation among its member states (the nations of the African Continent) following a recommendation of the United Nations General Assembly (UN); it is one of the five regional commissions of the UN; it has 54 member states corresponding to the 54 member states of the UN and its work is structured into seven core programmes including “Capacity Development”.
This sponsorship for Young Lawyers is part of efforts by the NBA and UNECA to support the work of the Federal Government of Nigeria at rebuilding the North-East.
The young lawyer is the future of the legal profession in Nigeria and this brings the total number of Young Lawyers sponsored by the NBA to the NBA-AGC 2017 to 105.
