17 Lawyers Conferred With SAN Awards, Keyamo Dropped

Festus Keyamo who was among the lawyers shortlisted for SAN this year didn’t make it to the final list. Mr Sunday Olorundahunsi, the LPPC Secretary and Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court while addressing journalists today, announced the names of the legal practitioners who made the final list without Keyamo's name.

He said 17 made it and even though 3 female lawyers applied none made it this year because the exercise was rather tough. The new Senior Advocates are: Dr Olu Onagoruwa (OFR), Prof. Joash Amupitan, Mr Olusola Idowu, Dr Ernest Ojukwu, Mr Ahamefula Ejelam, Chief George Onyemenam and Mr Tawo Eja Tawo, Mr Olatunde Adejuyigbe, Mr Sylvanus Ogwemoh, Dr Adewale Olawoyin, Dr Joshua Olatoke, Mr Teslim Busari, Mr Kevin Nwufo, Dr Amuda-Kannike Abiodun, Mr Oluwakemi Balogun, Mr Hakeem Afolabi and Mr Gerald Ezeuko.

The awardees would be inaugurated at the beginning of the new legal year, which is in September.
