President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday received Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya, the president-elect of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), at the State House in Abuja ahead of her official inauguration as the association's 33rd president.
Badejo-Okusanya, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), was accompanied on the courtesy visit by Foluke Dada-Lawanson, Dean of the Faculty of Law at Caleb University; Ezinwa Okoroafor, President of the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) Nigeria; Hadiza Afegbua, FCT Lead of the NBA Women Forum; and Ramlat Ridhwan, Publicity Lead of the BBold campaign team.
The visit comes just days after Badejo-Okusanya made history by becoming the first woman elected president of the Nigerian Bar Association on July 19, 2026. She is the second woman to lead the NBA after Priscilla Kuye, who served as the association's president between 1991 and 1992.
Badejo-Okusanya is expected to succeed Afam Osigwe during the NBA Annual General Conference in Enugu next month, where she will officially begin her two-year tenure as president of Nigeria's foremost legal association.
