    HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS TO DR. O.T.O. ON HER APPOINTMENT AS THE FIRST FEMALE DIRECTOR-GENERAL OF THE NIGERIAN LAW SCHOOL

     

     

    By Sylvester Udemezue

    I extend my warmest and most heartfelt congratulations to *Dr Mrs Olugbemisola Titilayo Odusote* on her historic appointment as the Director-General of the Nigerian Law School by Bola Ahmed Tinubu, President and Commamder-In-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria.

    This well-deserved appointment, which makes her the first woman to lead the Nigerian Law School since its establishment in 1962, is both inspiring and richly merited.

    Having had the privilege of working under her for over a decade at the Lagos Campus, when she served as my Head of Department in Property Law Practice, I can attest, without reservation, to her uncommon diligence, firmness of purpose, and deep commitment to excellence. She is a teacher who leads from the front, an administrator who combines discipline with humanity, and a scholar whose passion for legal education is both evident and contagious.

    As Coordinator of Property Law Practice across the entire Nigerian Law School, and later as Deputy Director-General and Head of the Lagos Campus, Dr Odusote discharged her responsibilities with exceptional zeal, clarity of vision, and personal sacrifice.

    Even amidst the pressures of high office and acute staff shortages, she remained consistently present in the classroom: teaching, mentoring, and sustaining academic standards by sheer dedication. Her selfless commitment ensured that students never felt the impact of those challenges, a testament to her rare work ethic and sense of duty.

    This appointment is therefore not only a personal milestone; it is a triumph for the Nigerian Law School and for legal education in Nigeria. I am confident that, under her leadership, the institution will attain even greater heights in academic rigor, administrative efficiency, and national and international relevance.

    I pray that the Almighty grants Dr Mrs Gbemi Titi Odusote (DR O.T.O., as I fondly call her) wisdom, strength, sound health, and grace for a most successful, impactful, and legacy-defining tenure as Director-General. May her leadership bring renewed vigor to the School and enduring benefits to the legal profession.

    Once again, heartfelt congratulations, Ma.

    I also respectfully seize this opportunity to congratulate the outgoing Director-General, Prof. Isa Hayatu Chiroma, SAN, Life Bencher, on the successful completion of his second four-year tenure as Director-General of the Nigerian Law School. His eight years of service were marked by stability, institutional consolidation, and sustained commitment to the core values of legal education and professional discipline. The Law School remains indebted to him for his stewardship, experience, and enduring contributions to the development of legal education in Nigeria.

     

    (Respectfully,
    Sylvester Udemezue
    Lecturer, Nigerian Law School.
