About BARR. NOSA IHAZA

Nosa is a focused, determined and self-motivated leader, whose major passion, amongst many others, is to see people attain their highest potentials in all aspects of life.

Having bagged his law degree from the prestigious University of Benin, he proceeded to the Nigerian Law School for his Bar Part 2 training, after which he was called to the Nigerian Bar and conferred with the honour of being a Solicitor and Advocate of the Supreme Court of Nigeria on November 8, 2005. Prior to studying law, he had earned a diploma certification in social works from the same University of Benin between 1995 and 1997, and within the same period he pursued and completed a certificate course in Public Relations from the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), thus making him a certified public relations practitioner.

After working as a lawyer in Benin City for two years plus, he relocated to Lagos, the commercial nerve-center of Nigeria, so as to expand his horizon in legal practice, as well as realize his business dreams. While working in one of the law firms, he was simultaneously engaged by the media house of Biscon Communications (owned by Mr. Bisi Olatilo) as Head of HR and Legal. He also used the opportunity of working with Mr. Bisi Olatilo to produce and present PEOPLES COURT TV programme, a public legal education programme aimed at educating the general public on all aspects of the law which gained wide viewership across Nigeria and beyond at that time.

In 2009, Nosa floated Wig & Gown Communications, which has today become the pace-setters in public legal education, engaged in legal seminars, trainings and publishing. The following year, 2010, he floated his own law firm by setting up Skyline Solicitors, with office in Lagos. His law firm has a knack for commercial and corporate legal practice, and presently consults for several high net-worth individuals as well as blue-chip companies in Nigeria especially leading frontline and micro-finance banks and real estate companies.

Nosa has been involved in real estate consultancy, as well as property and tenant management for upwards of 15 years, and currently serves on the board of some blue chip real estate companies like Pertinence Group, Lifepage Group, Common Sense Group, etc. These years of first-hand robust experience thus informed the conception and birth of Shelter Professionals Ltd.

As a facilitator of repute, Nosa handles Business and Commercial Law at The Entrepreneurship Academy (TEA), a business school in Lagos, where he is also a faculty as well as board member, under the leadership of Dr. Olumide Emmanuel.

Nosa is the Director of Studies at Superminds Int’l. School (Nursery & Primary) and Skyline Academy (Secondary), both in Lagos. He is also an advisory board member of a number of companies and religious/charity organizations, where he deploys his wealth of legal knowledge and experience to oversee the legal aspects of their overall operations.
Nosa is a prolific writer who has four published books to his credit, namely 101 Legal Facts Every Landlord and Tenant Must Know; Church and the Law: Avoiding Deadly Lawsuits in Ministry; Legal Framework for Doing Business in Nigeria; and Common Legal Mistakes in Business and How to Avoid them.
