In his inaugural speech delivered at the swearing-in ceremony in Lagos on Thursday, Osigwe commended his opponents, Tobenna Erojikwe and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Chukwukwa Ikwazom, for their decorum during the electioneering process and extended a hand of fellowship to them to join him in moving the association forwards

He promised to run an all-inclusive bar that keeps the association not only united but moves the NBA forward.

He also assured that under his watch, the NBA will hold the federal and state governments accountable and make sure that their policies deliver good governance to the people.
