Lateef Femi Okunnu: Icon, Legend and Statesman at 90

They don’t come better than Alhaji Lateef Femi Okunnu. He is defined by many things: love for family and country, commitment to education, affection for Lagos, passion for the legal profession, and devotion to Islam. He is a Nigerian nationalist of the progressive bent, one who is a shaper of several landmarks in the history of the country, whether political or infrastructural. Everything he has done, and still does, is always with a touch of finesse, passion, and with dedication. He is sui generis, simply in a class of his own. As he marks his 90th birthday today, the foremost lawyer remains an inspiration to generations past and present, with his testimony of integrity, excellence and diligence.
