NBA Refuses to Refund N300 Million to Rivers State Government

The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has responded to Rivers State Administrator Ibok-Ete Ibas, stating that they will not refund the N300 million demanded by the state government. The NBA claims that the money was a gift from Suspended Governor Siminalayi Fubara, not a payment for hosting rights. This stance comes after Ibas accused the NBA of double standards for relocating their conference without refunding the funds. The NBA’s decision adds to the ongoing tensions between the Rivers State government and the association.
