Again, it was a celebration galore in the home of Senator and Mrs Soji Akanbi, last Thursday, 29th July, as the ‘Baby’ of the family, AbdulMaleek got called to the Bar.

At a Dinner party held in his honour at the Cilantro, in Abuja, the 21-year-old who bagged his LLB in the University of Manchester, the UK in 2019 at the age of 19, expressed gratitude to his parents, family members and friends who helped to shape his path to success and the height of it was in appreciating the presence of God in his life and family in general.

Now a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, he noted that his path to success was not a smooth ride and law school almost shook his confidence for excellence, And to further complicate issues, the coronavirus pandemic caused a major set back in finishing up at the law school in 2020, despite this, he was still able to pull up courage and strength to pass through in flying Colours.

It is indeed a feat worth- celebrating. The young Barrister, commended the organizers of this year’s call to bar, for the well organized three days event held at Eagle Square Abuja, from Tuesday 27th to Thursday 29th July amidst COVID restrictions.

Asked about his next step after law school, He said he’ll like to take a one year break to go through the NYSC programme before proceeding with his Master’s degree.

The family is blessed with three young men who have proven to toe the path of success in their chosen careers. Mum and Dad, Mrs Folake and Sen Akanbi, were both excited and full of joy having just celebrated the success of the second born of the family, an Economist who got ACA certified barely 9 months ago and works as a Chartered Accountant/Finacial analyst with PWC UK. The firstborn is a Civil Engineer and CEO of Trifecta Integrated Services Ltd. Seeing the last born of the three boys progress in his chosen career calls for another round of celebrating God’s faithfulness.
