The NBA Remuneration Portal is the official digital platform of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Lagos for lawyers handling property transactions. It enforces NBA-mandated remuneration standards, automates professional fee disbursements to your registered bank account, and provides a centralised workspace for deal management, compliance certificates, and legal documentation — removing the administrative burden from every transaction you handle.

What the portal does for you

The portal handles three core areas of every property transaction: Fee compliance — The platform automatically applies the NBA-mandated 10% professional fee to each transaction and calculates the correct administrative processing fee based on the property value. You do not need to manually compute or declare fees. Disbursements — Once a deal is processed and payment is received, your net professional fee is disbursed directly to your linked bank account. You do not need to invoice separately or follow up on payments. Documentation — All deal documents, affidavits, and NBA compliance certificates are stored in one place and available for download at any time.

NBA fee structure

Understanding how fees are calculated helps you set client expectations accurately before creating a deal.

Professional fee

The NBA mandates a 10% professional fee on all property transactions processed through the portal. This fee is calculated on the total transaction value and forms the basis for your remuneration.

Administrative processing fee

An administrative fee is deducted from the transaction before your professional fee is disbursed. The rate depends on the total property value:
Transaction valueAdministrative fee rate
Up to ₦100,000,0001.0%
₦100,000,001 – ₦700,000,0000.75%
Above ₦700,000,0000.5%

What you receive

After the administrative fee is deducted, you retain 90% or more of your NBA professional fee. For most transactions, your net payout is between 90% and 95%+ of the 10% professional fee, depending on the property value tier.
For large transactions above ₦700M, the administrative fee drops to 0.5%, meaning you retain a greater share of your professional fee.

Who can use the portal

The portal is open to all lawyers enrolled with an NBA Lagos branch. You must have:
  • A valid NBA Enrollment Number (SCN)
  • Membership under one of the NBA Lagos branches (Ikorodu, Ikeja, Lagos, Badagry, Surulere, Eti Osa, Epe, or Others)
