Group Criticizes NBA President Over Maina's Award Controversy

A group has expressed disapproval of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) President's support for an award presented to Abdulrasheed Maina, the former Chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team who is currently facing corruption charges. The group faulted the NBA President's position, citing Maina's ongoing corruption trial as a reason for the criticism.

Maina is accused of misappropriating pension funds amounting to billions of naira. The controversy surrounding Maina's award has sparked debate within legal circles, with the group questioning the NBA President's judgment in publicly endorsing Maina's recognition despite the serious allegations against him.
