Dear Distinguished Learned Silks, Benchers, and Colleagues,
Compliments of the season!
Kindly be reminded that the Bar Practicing Fee (BPF) for the year 2024 will be payable from January 1, 2024, to March 31, 2024, as stipulated in Section 9(1) of the Legal Practitioners Act.
The payment of BPF can only be made through the NBA Portal or the new NBA Digital App. Members who have not yet registered on the portal are advised to create their profiles promptly.
Access the NBA Portal via the following link: https://portal.nigerianbar.org.ng/
The new NBA Digital App is robust, user-friendly, highly effective, and efficient. To download the NBA Digital App, follow the instructions below:
a.) For iPhone/Apple devices, visit iOS (App Store) or use the link: https://apps.apple.com/ng/app/nba-digital-app/id6464066248
b.) For Android devices, visit the Google Play Store or use the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ng.org.nigerianbar
Please note: There are currently two NBA apps on the Play Store. It is strongly advised to use the provided link to download the valid NBA app, as efforts are being made to remove the redundant app. The distinguishing features of the valid NBA Digital App are outlined below:
The Name: The valid NBA Digital App is named “NBA Digital App,” while the redundant App is named “Digital NBA App.”
The Logo: The NBA logo on the valid app has a shade of lemon green, while the redundant app bears the regular NBA green logo.
Bar Services: Only the valid NBA App allows access to Bar Services, including payment of the Bar Practicing Fee, finding a lawyer, exploring career opportunities, verifying your NIN, and generating an NBA ID, among others.
