Former Senator, Dino Melaye has been called to the bar, becoming a certified legal practitioner.
He was among 5,734 individuals presented for the call to bar ceremony in Abuja, a record-breaking number in the history of the Nigerian Law School.
Melaye represented Kogi West in the Senate and was a strong ally of former Senate President Bukola Saraki. He has been a fierce critic of the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) and incumbent President Bola Tinubu's economic policies.
Before his political career, Melaye was an anti-corruption activist who spoke out against alleged corruption in the House of Representatives. In 2023, he contested for the governorship of Kogi State but lost to APC candidate Usman Ododo.
Former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, charged the newly inducted lawyers to uphold the highest standards of integrity, discipline, and selfless service.
Melaye's induction into the legal profession is seen as an added advantage in his activism and political career.
