The Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association Security Agencies Relations Committee (NBA-SARC) and former Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association, Lagos Branch attended a session of tributes organised by the NBA, Ibadan Branch in honour of Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN. The high profile event, which had legal practitioners from different parts of the country in attendance provided an opportunity for lawyers to pay glowing tributes to a man whose leadership qualities were excellent. Mr Ikwuazom noted that he received the grievous news of the passing of our esteemed patron, His Excellency, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu, SAN with utmost sorrow.

He noted that as a legal luminary of profound knowledge and a consummate bar man, His Excellency contributed enormously to uplifting the legal profession in Nigeria and advancing the Bar Association.

His Excellency served with distinction as Secretary of the NBA Ibadan Branch from 1985-1986. After excelling in this capacity, he was elected Chairman from 1992-1993. His public service within the bar reached its zenith when he was elected President of the NBA from 2008-2010. During his sterling tenure, the groundbreaking ceremony for the NBA National Secretariat in Abuja, now known as NBA House, was performed – forever etching his name in the annals of history.

Beyond his legal accomplishments, His Excellency served as Honorable Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice in Ondo State from 1997-1999 prior to being elected Executive Governor of Ondo State in 2017 for two terms, until his sudden demise today, 27th December 2023.

This shocking loss marks the exit of a brilliant legal mind and dedicated public servant. Our sympathies are with his family, colleagues, and the people of Ondo at this difficult hour.

May His Excellency’s soul find eternal repose.
