HOTEL OWNERS COMMEND HOSTING OF NBA CONFERENCE IN ENUGU

Hotel owners in Enugu State, under the aegis of Enugu State Hotel Owners’ Association, weekend, commended the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) for choosing the state as the venue for its 2025 Annual General Conference.

The five-day conference, which began on August 23rd, 2025, is being held at the International Conference Centre, Enugu.

Over 20,000 lawyers, according to the national President of the NBA, Mr Adam Osuigwe, SAN, were in attendance.

The hotel owners, in a message jointly signed by its Chairman, Dr Johnson Ugwuoke; Vice Chairman, Sir Jeff Uke, and Secretary, Chief Eric Chibueze Chime, charged the lawyers to use the opportunity of the conference “to see the infrastructural innovations and tight security in the ancient city of South Eastern Nigeria”.

They also expressed their readiness to make the conference memorable.

According to them, “We are prepared to receive all the lawyers in Nigeria to our comfort zones as the best place to be in terms of hospitality and tourism.”

The group, while wishing the NBA members happy deliberations, also commended Gov Peter Mbah for the infrastructural development in the state, including the completion of the hitherto abandoned Enugu International Conference Centre after over two decades of abandonment.

The hoteliers stated that, “The Executive Governor of Enugu State, Dr Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, has proved beyond all shadow of doubt that he is a man of many parts by facilitating the choice of Enugu for the conference. Tomorrow is here in Enugu State with the general transformations and ease of doing business.”

Our correspondent reports that almost all the hotels in the state metropolis were fully booked ahead of the conference.
