The theme for this year’s conference “Business Unusual” Digital Acceleration for Growth in the New World” is not only apposite, but it also goes to confirm the status of SBL as a trailblazer and also, a thought leader in matters concerning contemporary legal practice in Nigeria, and indeed on the continent of Africa.
