FULL LIST: ICPC chairman among 72 lawyers named senior advocates of Nigeria

Bolaji Owasanoye, chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), has been named a senior advocate of Nigeria.

Owosanoye was one of 72 lawyers named by the Legal Practitioners Privilege Committee (LPPC) on Friday.

A total of 137 lawyers were shortlisted for the rank in 2020 — with 116 advocate applicants and 21 academic applicants. Of the 137 candidates shortlisted, 72 were successful, while 60 did not make the cut.

Owosanoye was shortlisted as one of the academic applicants, following his standing as a professor of law across major universities across the world.

The 2020 list of successful applicants doubles the numbers recorded for 2019 when Festus Keyamo, minister of state for Niger Delta; and Akinlolu Osinbajo,  brother to the vice-president and the longest-serving attorney general in Ogun state history, were among only over 30 successful candidates.

The title was first conferred on April 3, 1975, to two senior lawyers; Rotimi Williams and Nabo Graham-Douglas. Folake Solanke became the first female SAN in 1981.
