The number of Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SAN) rose by 58 on Thursday, October 12, with the conferment of the rank on new set of lawyers, including rights activist, Kayode Ajulo and wife of human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), Funmi.
The Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court and Secretary of the Legal Practitioners’ Privileges Commines (LPPC), Ms.Hajo Sarki Bello disclosed this in a statement on Thursday.
She said the LPPC approved the elevation of the 58 at its 159th plenary session held on October 12, with the Chairman, the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Olukayode Ariwoola in attendance.
Out of the 58 only one, Prof. Babatunde Adetunji Oni made it from the academic category, while the other 57 are from the advocate category.
Ms. Sarki-Bello said: “The rank of a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) is as a mark of excellence to members of the legal profession, who distinguished themselves as advocates and academics.
“The meeting further considered four different petitions written against some of the applicants and determined that each of the petition lacked merit and thus dismissed.
“The swearing-in ceremony of the 58 successful applicants is scheduled to take place on Monday the 27th day of November.”
Also on the list include Olumide Olujinmi (son of former Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, Akin Olujinmi, SAN) and former National Legal Adviser of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Emmanuel Enoidem.
