The Employment and Labour Lawyers Association of Nigeria (ELLAN) is set to host the 2025 edition of its flagship Employment and Labour Law Conference, with an insightful Panel Session 3 themed: “From Statutes to Strategy: The Role of Legal Practitioners in Advancing Employment Rights in Nigeria.” The event is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. on July 9, 2025, at the prestigious Civic Centre, Ozumba Mbadiwe, Victoria Island, Lagos.
Among the distinguished panellists is Mrs. Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya, Partner at Africa Law Practice (ALP), a renowned thought leader in employment law, strategic human capital development, and workplace compliance.
Fondly known as “Mrs. B” in professional circles, Oyinkansola brings not just legal expertise but a powerful voice that consistently champions dignity in labour and purposeful advocacy within the legal profession.
Joining her on the panel are Yemi Akangbe, SAN, Managing Partner at Sofunde Osakwe, Ogundipe & Belgore, and Nonso Azih, Principal Partner at Azih & Azih—both respected figures in the Nigerian legal space.
Together, the trio will dissect how legal practitioners can move beyond the letter of employment law statutes to effect strategic change that safeguards and advances employment rights in today’s dynamic labour market.
Mrs. Badejo-Okusanya’s participation is highly anticipated, given her passion for bridging the gap between law, people, and policy. Her approach blends legal precision with practical workplace realities, making her a compelling advocate for modern employment rights. She is expected to share valuable insights on proactive compliance, ethical HR legal frameworks, and the evolving role of lawyers in shaping the future of work.
The session promises to be a convergence of experience, expertise, and engagement—offering participants a chance to explore best practices and policy pathways for a fairer and more equitable workplace environment in Nigeria.
