Before the year 1989, lawyers practising within the territorial limit of the then Nnewi Judicial Division (made up of the present Nnewi and Ihiala Judicial Divisions) of the High Court of Anambra State were members of the Onitsha Branch of the Nigerian Bar Association (N.B.A.). From the middle of 1987, lawyers practising within Nnewi Judicial Division began making moves for the formation of Nnewi Branch of the N.B.A. This move was championed by late Barrister A.C. Obiefuna, an Nnewi based legal practitioner who previously was practising in Jos.
On the 23rd day of September,1988 a meeting of the proposed Nnewi Branch held at No. 13 Owerri Road Nnewi where the said A.C. Obiefuna Esq. was nominated and unanimously approved to be the protem chairman while K.O. Onwuekwe Esq was also nominated and unanimously approved as protem Secretary. Before then, in 1987, a formal application was made to the National Executive Committee (N.E.C.) of the N.B.A. for the registration of Nnewi Branch of N.B.A.
