The South West region of Nigeria is home to several
successful legal luminaries both living and dead. The region can successfully
tackle head-for-head other parts of the country and indeed the African
continent in terms of the creme de la creme of the law profession.
Aside from late heavyweight lawyers such as Adeyemo Alakija,
Bode Thomas, Samuel Akintola, Obafemi Awolowo, Fredrick Rotimi Williams, Bola
Ige, Gani Fawehinmi and a host of others who have made indelible marks on the
sands of time, the judicial system in Nigeria still parades seasoned, quality
and unrivaled lawyers who have raised the bar of the profession higher than
they met it.
