Big wigs in the legal and education sectors converged at Babcock University, Ilishan Remo, Ogun State last Friday, February 21, 2025, to join Nigeria’s legal numero uno, Chief Wole Olanipekun, CFR, SAN at the commissioning of an Ultramodern Law Auditorium which he donated to the University.
The building aptly christened the Wole Olanipekun Law Auditorium (WOLA), is another in the numerous philanthropic gestures the former NBA President has made to various educational institutions across the country, including the University of Lagos, University of Ibadan, Ajayi Crowther University, Bamidele Olumilua University of Science and Technology, and now Babcock University, also gifting facilities to the Bar and the Bench in various jurisdictions. Chief Olanipekun, a former Chairman of the Body of Benchers, is on record to have built and donated imposing edifices to NBA Bar Centres, and a Courthouse to the profession.
