Tinubu appoints Olugbemisola Odusote as first female DG of Nigerian Law School
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the appointment of Dr Olugbemisola Titilayo Odusote as the Director-General of the Nigerian Law School, marking a historic milestone as the first woman to head the institution since its establishment in 1962.
The appointment takes effect from January 10, 2026, and is for a four-year term.
Dr Odusote, who currently serves as Deputy Director-General and Head of the Lagos Campus, will succeed Professor Isa Hayatu Chiroma, whose tenure expires on January 9, 2026, after eight years in office.
A seasoned legal academic, Odusote obtained her LL.B degree from Obafemi Awolowo University and was called to the Nigerian Bar in 1988. She also earned an LL.M degree from the same institution, specialising in Company and Commercial Law, before proceeding to the University of Surrey, United Kingdom, where she obtained a PhD in Law with research focus on Public Law and the administration of justice.
She joined the Nigerian Law School in 2001 as a lecturer and has since risen through the ranks, serving in several key roles including Head of Academic Department, Director of Academics, and Head of Campus. She also spent a brief period as a visiting scholar at Nottingham Trent University in the UK.
Dr Odusote has published widely in reputable local and international law journals and has presented scholarly papers at various legal education conferences. She has also served on committees of both the Council of Legal Education and the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA).
As Director-General, she will oversee the academic leadership, administrative management, and strategic direction of the Nigerian Law School across all campuses, while also serving as the principal liaison between the institution, the Council of Legal Education, the Body of Benchers, and the NBA.
