In his inaugural address, he pledged to hold governments at all levels accountable for their actions, particularly in areas concerning justice, equity, and the rule of law.
Osigwe, the 32nd President of the NBA said the legal profession plays a critical role in society.
He called for immediate action on improving security, safeguarding fundamental human rights, and providing essential services such as education, healthcare, and employment opportunities for all Nigerians.
