The report said the NBA’s Welfare Committee raised the sum of N92,884,505.00, which would mean a total disbursement of  N9,172.57 per lawyer. The NBA says it would add an extra N8,375,495.00 to the fund so that each beneficiary could get about N10,000 each.

The Association says other younger lawyers with post-call experience of 5-7 years could not be under the relief programme as the association is constrained by limited funds available for distribution.

“We felt that younger lawyers should perhaps constitute the primary focus for the distribution of the relief funds,” Paul Usoro said.

The name of the eligible candidates will be published on the association’s website and eligible beneficiaries are required to fill and submit validation forms.

Mr. Usoro said the donors came from mostly senior lawyers. “Their names and their donations which are all written in gold are published with the release,” he added.
