Osinbajo spoke an event in former Commissioner for Environment, Dr. Muiz Banire who was recently admitted into the league of the Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN).
He said it was a proud moment for him as a Muiz Banire’s colleague in Bola Tinubu’s cabinet and teacher at the University of Lagos.
In his message, Bola Tinubu said the admission of Banire into the rank of SAN was well deserved.
Osun state governor Rauf Aregbesola said the role of the judiciary is crucial at this moment of the nation’s history. Speaking on behalf of other SANS, Ladi Williams said he was impressed by Muiz Banire’s hard work and intellectual capacity.
Senator Ganiyu Solomon who spoke on behalf of his constituency in Mushin disclosed that he has proved people who believe the area is only famous with violence and criminality wrong.
