“On behalf of the entire university community, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Oluwatoyin Ogundipe, FAS, congratulates Mr. Adeola Austin Oyinlade on his achievement and wishes him continued success,” the institution said.

Also, a statement signed by Jinny Choi, on behalf of the American Bar Association, said the award was presented to Oyinlade “in recognition of his exceptional commitment and contribution to the advancement of human rights in Nigeria.”

The Amercan Bar Association President, Patricia Lee Refo, described Oyinlade as one who has “advanced solutions to human rights issues across Africa, including the South Sudan political crisis, the Central African Republic crisis, the Congo Democratic Republic armed conflict and Libyan peace talks.”

This is the second time in three years that the Nigerian lawyer would be recognized by the global legal community for his dedication to Human Rights.

In October 2018, Oyinlade was named the International Bar Association (IBA) Human Rights Lawyer of the Year by the International Bar Association (IBA) in Rome, Italy,for his outstanding contribution as a Legal Practitioner to Human Rights advancement.

Oyinlade is the Principal Partner of Adeola Oyinlade & Co, a law firm based in Lagos.

He is also the Founder of Constitutional Rights Awareness and Liberty Initiative, an NGO dedicated to expanding the frontiers of liberty, human rights, democracy and happiness of people in Nigeria.

He graduated from the Faculty of Law of UNILAG with a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) in 2011 and bagged his Master of Laws (LLM) degree in 2014 from the same university.
