The Body

BOSAN fosters collaboration and is governed by a clear constitution. BOSAN promotes a cooperative and lively atmosphere among its members through quarterly meetings and annual gatherings. If the Attorney General of the Federation (where he is a Senior Advocate) is unavailable, the Vice-Chairman or, in his absence, the most senior member of BOSAN assumes the role of Chair, ensuring continuity in leadership.

The Body’s constitution governs membership and aims to promote good administration based on the principles of freedom, equity, and justice.
