Two distinguished legal journeys. Two remarkable appointments. One proud moment for Babcock University!
Babcock University is delighted to celebrate two members of its academic community, Hon. Justice OLAKULEHIN LUQMAN OKE and Hon. Justice OLUDOTUN OLANIYI OSHO, who were recently sworn in as Judges of the Ogun State Judiciary.
Their swearing in mark significant milestones in their professional journeys and recognise years of dedication to the legal profession, service and the pursuit of justice.
Hon. Justice Oke, a doctoral scholar at Babcock University, has built an extensive career in the justice system. Appointed a Magistrate in the Ogun State Judiciary in 2014, he has served in several judicial and administrative capacities. His contributions include judicial administration, legal reforms and digital transformation. He became the 18th Chief Registrar of the High Court of Ogun State in September 2025, following his service as Deputy Chief Registrar. Among his notable contributions is advancing the digitisation of court processes, including electronic affidavits, which have recorded over 100,000 processed since February 2026.
Hon. Justice Osho, an LL.M. alumnus and current Ph.D. candidate at Babcock University, brings nearly two decades of experience in legal practice, litigation, dispute resolution and legal scholarship. His professional journey spans civil and criminal litigation, appellate proceedings, arbitration, mediation and legal advisory services. He has also contributed to legal scholarship through publications on intellectual property rights and other areas of law, alongside his service in the Nigerian Bar Association, Ota Branch.
Their achievements are a source of pride to the University and a reminder of the value of continuous learning, professional commitment and the application of knowledge to the service of society.
As they take on their new judicial responsibilities, we wish them wisdom in their decisions, courage in upholding justice and integrity in the discharge of their duties.
Congratulations, Hon. Justice Olakulehin Oke and Hon. Justice Oludotun Osho! The Babcock community celebrates this remarkable achievement with you and wishes you fulfilling and impactful years on the bench.
