Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya has etched her name into Nigeria’s legal history after emerging as the 33rd President-elect of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA). Her victory also makes her only the second woman to lead the association since its establishment 66 years ago, following the tenure of Priscilla Kuye, who served between 1991 and 1992. She's the first woman directly elected to lead the NBA

Badejo-Okusanya secured 12,317 votes, representing 47.18 per cent of the 26,106 ballots cast in the NBA’s electronic election, defeating fellow Senior Advocates of Nigeria, Lateef Omoyemi Akangbe and Olumuyiwa Akinboro.

Her emergence is widely seen as a significant milestone for gender representation within the legal profession and places her at the forefront of shaping the future direction of Nigeria’s largest professional association.

Congratulations! 💚🤍💚
