A 300% increase in this year’s NBA AGC is difficult to justify, especially when “late registration” begins more than two months before the conference.
I hope @NigBarAssoc and @AfamOsigwe will reconsider this decision in the interest of young lawyers.
@jennifer_kaycee@NigBarAssoc@afamosigwe Exactly
They’re either out of touch with the reality of the average young lawyer or they simply don’t care
Either way it’s really disappointing

A question for @NigBarAssoc and @afamosigwe.
How does registration for a conference scheduled for 21–28 August 2026 become “late registration” as early as 11 June 2026?
And why does that trigger a 300% increase in registration fees for young lawyers?

@jennifer_kaycee@NigBarAssoc@afamosigwe It’s really crazy.
There’s no justification for such a price hike
The NBA is well aware of the remuneration crisis young lawyers have been complaining about
How do they expect young lawyers to afford such fee
Unless it’s exclusively for wealthy lawyers
They should tell us

This is not an attack on the NBA.
It is an appeal for a policy that reflects the economic realities facing many young lawyers today.
I hope this concern receives serious consideration.

Young lawyers should not be penalized with a 300% increase simply because they could not afford to register months in advance.
The late registration fee for this category should be reviewed and reversed.
Hope we all win in our individual lives at the end of the it all
Hope all our hard work pays off
Hope all the sleepless nights and anxiety will be worth it
Whatever you do
Keep pushing!
