I join our colleagues from across the country, friends and family to congratulate a Bar Leader, a gold standard, a resourceful Advocate, and a community mobilizer, Prof. Yusuf Olaolu Ali, SAN on his turbarning as the 1st Kuliyan N’geri of the historic city of Ilorin Emirate, by his Eminence Dr. Ibrahim Sulu Gambari, the Emir of Ilorin.

Indeed all honours are from God and he bestows on whom He wills. Prof. Yusuf Ali SAN, a man many of us in the profession and beyond look up to, is truly deserving of this honor through his strides as a professional and his many acts of service to the Ilorin community, the Bar and the nation. I pray that Almighty God continues to bless him, grant him long life and good health in service to God and man. Amin.
