Professor of Comparative Politics and Chairman of the board of Nigerian Communications Commission(NCC), Barrister Adeolu Akande has felicitated with the Ninety One year old,law lecturer, Professor Toriola Ajagbe Oyewo on his elevation to the exalted status of Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN.
Akande in a statement in Ibadan also rejoiced with the Oyo State chapter of the Nigerian Bar Association,NBA on the promotion of other Ibadan based lawyers, Kazeem Gbadamosi and Sina Ogungbade to the position of SAN.
“I am glad to felicitate with our Erudite Professor of law, Pa Toriola Oyewo on this great feat at a very advanced age. It is indeed a ray of hope for upcoming professionals that they can achieve their desired goal if only they remain focused in life.
The NCC boss who is also a gubernatorial hopeful in All Progressives Congress(APC), Oyo State urged the youth not to allow any inhibition to dissuade them from their dreams.
According to him” the story of Professor Oyewo is quite fascinating to me. He did not give up on his dream. Today,he has not only reached the peak of his career in academics but also as a legal practitioner.
“I am sure Pa Oyewo, a great son of Ibadan is fulfilled. I pray that God grant him more years to enjoy the fruits of his labour”, Professor Akande submitted.
