legal luminary, Chief Afe Babalola, had a celebration some days ago.
The man, who is one of the most successful Nigerians in the wig and gown profession, celebrated his 60th year at the bar and couldn’t contain his joy as he rolled out the drums.
The founder of the Afe Babalola University, who was called to the Bar of England and Wales in 1963 had a book launch and lecture at the Alfa Belgore Hall in Ado-Ekiti to celebrate the milestone achievement.
Chief Afe, whose law firm, Emmanuel Chambers, has produced a large number of Senior Advocates and other brilliant lawyers is a leading light in the Nigerian legal profession.
The eminent Nigerian told a story how he started life as a vice-principal of Ibadan City Academy before he later travelled for his LLB at Lincoln’s Inn, a move that changed his life forever.
