The secretary’s suspension was made public on Monday by the NBA Publicity Secretary, Rapulu Nduka, after the resolution was reached by the National Executive Committee at its Emergency Meeting.

The suspension is as a result of a major disagreement between the outgoing NBA President, Olumide Akpata and Oduah on issues bordering on the proposed Constitutional Amendment.

However, in an internal memo from the NBA National Officers to Akpata on August 14, they referred “in particular to the actions of Mrs. Joyce Oduah, the General Secretary of the Association who has from the very beginning of this administration constituted a clog in the smooth administration of the Association by various acts of dereliction of duty, disobedience to lawful orders, misconducting herself and being involved in acts and behaviors which are likely to, and have indeed brought the Association into disrepute.”

In the memo, Oduah was accused by the national officers of lacking proper temperament expected of the General Secretary in the management of secretariat staff as well as her inability to diligently discharge the duties of her office.
