The Practical Training Academy Ltd/Gte (TPTA) Delivers Comprehensive Public Law Office Training for Cross River State Ministry of Justice, Five-day bespoke programme enhances capacity of 143 legal professionals

The Practical Training Academy Ltd/Gte (TPTA) and The Law Crest LLP, in collaboration with the Cross River State Ministry of Justice, successfully delivered a specialised five-day training programme for public sector legal practitioners between 1st and 5th December 2025.

The intensive training, attended by 143 staff members of the Cross River State Ministry of Justice, was designed to strengthen capacity in public sector legal practice through a combination of presentations, workshops, and practical sessions. The programme received highly positive feedback from participants throughout its duration.

The training manual was developed through a collaborative effort between the progressive and dynamic Honourable Attorney General of Cross River State , Mr Ededem Ani Esq and his team, working alongside TPTA's team, led by Mr Tobenna Erojikwe.

Participants engaged with in-depth sessions covering criminal procedure, data protection, contract law, procurement processes, public-private partnership frameworks, civil litigation strategy, legislative drafting, taxation principles, and administrative law. Each session was designed to provide both theoretical understanding and practical application relevant to public sector legal practice.

The training drew upon the expertise of distinguished practitioners from both the United Kingdom and Nigeria, including:

- Sheila Saunders, Director-level UK public sector lawyer
- Prof Paul Idornijie SAN
- Victor Opara SAN
- Tola Oshobi SAN
- Folabi Kuti SAN

A Tale of Three Presidential Candidates

As the members of the @NigerianBarAssoc go to the polls on Saturday to elect a new President and National Officers, it is an opportune time to remind us that whether by design or default, all three Candidates for the office of President were given the opportunity to handle three critical assignments that go to the core of the Association's mandate: (i) Security, Safety and Wellbeing of Lawyers, (ii) Lawyers' Remuneration; and (iii) Continuing Legal Education and Empowerment.

Not even his worst critics can argue - with any degree of rationality – with the fact that the Continuing Legal Education mandate has been the best performed of three. Truth be told @TobennaErojikwe has simply been a class apart in words and deed.

It is written, "whoever is faithful in little things will also be faithful with plenty." Tobenna has shown what is doable. Now is the time to give him the mandate to do much more.

[Tobenna Erojikwe @TobennaErojikwe]

I am honoured and humbled to receive the endorsement of @OlumideAkpata , the immediate past president of @NigBarAssoc.

During his tenure as NBA President, I served as the Head of Policy Formulation and Project Implementation Team and we achieved many of the signature projects and programmes that his administration has continued to be lauded for. His very powerful words inspire me to continue working tirelessly for our noble profession.

It is my pledge to Nigerian lawyers that we will revive and continue those projects and exceed expectations.

Together, we can build a resilient and courageous NBA where no lawyer is left behind.

Vote me for NBA President on July 20, 2024.

Tobenna Erojikwe,
Candidate for the Office of NBA President, 2024

[Ayuli Jemide @JemideAyuli]

@TobennaErojikwe has proven his mettle as Chairman of the NBA ICLE, as an astute lawyer and as a vanguard for progressive change. I therefore think he will make a fine NBA President and hereby endorse his candidacy unreservedly”

[Tobenna Erojikwe @TobennaErojikwe]

“I ask you to support me in my quest to lead the NBA because I believe that Leadership is a partnership between the followers and the leaders. It is a joint venture enterprise. I want to be that President that people can criticize openly and privately. I want to be criticized all the time because it is someone who gets constant critics that does better everyday”.

As the Governorship Candidate of the Labour Party for the September 21, 2024, Edo State elections, I have been incredibly busy and engaged in the process of taking our message of hope and endless possibilities to the good people of Edo State in all parts of the State. I have, however, decided to take a break today, not to rest, but to devote my attention to another crucial election coming up in a few days, the election of the national officers of our beloved Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) scheduled for Saturday, July 20, 2024.

I have been inundated with calls and messages from friends and supporters asking about my preferred candidate for the office of President of the NBA in the upcoming elections. As the 30th President of the NBA, I understood and played my part in the fulfilment of the Association’s multifaceted roles: promoting and defending the rule of law, developing the legal profession, and contributing to the vital task of nation-building. In the same vein, I recognise the paramount importance of carefully deciding who leads our Association at this critical time not just for the Association but also for our dear nation, Nigeria.

It is this regard, and for the fuller reasons outlined in my message below, that I have no hesitation in endorsing - TOBENNA EROJIKWE, @TobennaErojikwe as my preferred candidate for election as the 32nd President of the NBA.

I seek your votes and support to become the President of our great Association.

Whilst speaking at the NBA Lagos Branch Law Week, I was asked, "Who is Tobenna Erojikwe?" and I responded.

I have served the Bar in many capacities as a Lawyer. I was appointed by two successive administrations of the @NbaLagos as a member of the Executive Committee to pioneer the affairs of the branch, I was trusted by two administrations to Chair all the committees of the Executive Committee of the Lagos Branch, I served on the NBA Lagos Branch Advisory Board, providing strategic guidance and insights, I was appointed as Head of Policy Development and Project Implementation by @OlumideAkpata during his tenure as President of the @NigBarAssoc , I also served as a member of the National Judicial Council for two years. I am currently the Chairman of the Governing Board of the NBA Institute of Continuing Legal Education (NBA-ICLE) and the work of the Board speaks for itself

ONE THING I have never done is to ask for your vote. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME!
