70 Hearty cheers to Chief Wole Olanipekun, SAN

Greatest Akokites,

Let’s celebrate one of Nigeria’s leading and foremost legal icon and luminary – Chief Oluwole Oladapo Olanipekun, SAN, a Great Akokite – as he clocks the glorious age of 70.

A former president of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), handled high-profile cases acting as Lead Counsel to 3 former Nigerian Presidents. He was also the Lead Counsel, who led a group of Akokite SANs to thwart the attempt by the Federal Government to change the prestigious name of our Alma mater – UNILAG to MAULAG in 2012.

Respectable, magisterial, prolific and unarguably one of the best minds in the legal profession in Nigeria.

Sir, on behalf of all Akokites across we celebrate you as you join the septuagenarian club. Here’s wishing you another 70 years of sweet blessings and wonderful memories. May you continue to enjoy wealth, sound health and sound mind. Amen

On behalf of the President of our Great Association, Dr. John Momoh, OON, NPOM, we say Happy 70th Birthday Sir.
