Recall that Director of Information at the National Judicial Council (NJC), Soji Oye, recently announced the appointment of Ariwoola Jr and 22 others as Federal High Court judges, who will be sworn in on October 4 in Abuja.
   
Members of the association, including Taiwo Oluwadare, Olanrewaju Amos, and Biyi Jesufemi, applauded the new judge’s sterling qualities, highlighting, particularly, his outstanding qualities as a lawyer, saying his exemplary track record earned him the position and not his father’s influence.
   
According to them, Olukayode Ariwoola Jr. achieved a perfect score of A1 in all the subjects, earning him the opportunity to pursue a career in the sciences.
   
“However, he astounded his peers by opting for the arts, stating that he aspired to follow in his father’s footsteps as a lawyer,” the Alumni said.
