“I am delighted to see that the brilliant and amazing Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya, SAN, is running for NBA President,” Ezekwesili wrote.
She highlighted the candidate’s extensive experience, competence, and courage, noting that her consistent advocacy for professional ethics, arbitration, governance, and improved welfare for young lawyers aligns with the pressing needs of the legal profession.
“Her engagements frequently focus on professional ethics, arbitration, governance, and improving conditions for young lawyers,” Ezekwesili added. “These are the ideals the Bar needs at this moment, and she rightly represents them.”
