has disclosed that the late Christopher Ogunbanjo was an exceptional legal luminary, whose vacuum would be difficult to fill in the country by his transition.The special assistant on media to the former president, Kehinde Akinyemi in a statement on Monday, October 9, stated that Obasanjo described the legal icon as an outstanding and foremost Nigerian Corporate Lawyer.

“Only a few days ago, I remembered him at a discussion and the only name that was coming to memory was; “the Corporate lawyer”, “the corporate lawyer. Yes, he was distinguished and truly deserving of that appellation.” “His zeal and resourcefulness were without deference to his noble background. He brought prodigious energy to bear in whatever he did and it was not surprising that he became a well-established lawyer and an astute businessman of note.“Chief Ogunbanjo’s name will live forever in the minds and hearts of those who experienced his warmth, generosity, and guidance.

“On his return from London, he worked briefly for the law firm of H.O. Davies before establishing his own private practice; his firm added two more partners, Samuel Ladoke Akintola and Michael Odesanya in 1952 to become Samuel, Chris, and Michael Solicitors. The partnership was dissolved in 1960 and his practice became Chris Ogunbanjo & Co. The new practice specialized in corporate law.
