Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), Bolaji Owasanoye, has been named Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN).
Owosanoye was one of 72 lawyers named by the Legal Practitioner’s 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, reports online newspaper, TheCable.
The 2020 list of successful applicants double the numbers recorded for 2019 when Festus Keyamo, Minister of State for Labour; and Akinlolu Osinbajo, brother to the vice-president and the longest-serving attorney general in Ogun State history, were among only 30 successful candidates.
