The Nigeria Law Society, NLS, and the Law Society of Lesotho, have agreed in principle to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the purpose of collaboration to establish a Continuing Legal Education Centre.
The agreement was reached at a meeting between Dr. Tonye Clinton Jaja, Executive Secretary of the NLS, and a delegation of the Law Society of Lesotho, led by Adv. Ithabeleng Phemotse and Adv. Tinkle Tuke, Secretary and President, respectively, on Friday 25th October, 2024, in Lesotho.
Tuke, at the meeting, informed the NLS representative, Jaja, that the MoU will be signed next week.
“Next week I’ll bring in the entire leadership of the Law Society for a meeting with you on this specific objectives.
“I fully support the idea and also the MoU. We should sign it as soon as possible,” Tuke said.
NLS is an emerging professional association of Nigerian lawyers. The organization is currently engaged in a dispute with the Corporate Affairs Commission, CAC, over its registration.
The emergence of the NLS is also being opposed by the NBA, the umbrella body of lawyers in Nigeria.
However, in an interview with Newspot, Secretary of the NLS, Steve Abar, stated that the organization will provide a better alternative for legal practitioners in the country.
Abar insisted that the NLS will benefit Nigerians in several areas, particularly by standing with the citizens and holding government accountable.
