ABUAD’s honor: Ode to (Dr) Prince Lateef Fagbemi, SAN –By Kayode Ajulo (SAN)

In justice’s halls, your voice resounds bright,
A beacon of hope, casting forth gentle light.
With wisdom profound and courage unchained,
You lead with integrity, your spirit unfeigned.

From the roots of our land, you’ve soared to the sky,
A guardian of truth, ever noble and spry.
With each choice you make, new pathways you weave,
A champion of progress, in whom we believe.

Today, we gather, our hearts filled with grace,
As Afe Babalola University bestows this honorary embrace.
A Doctor of Law, for your battles so grand,
For justice and honor, you steadfastly stand.

Your journey inspires the daring and bold, it mentors me,
From University of Jos our common pedigree, your story unfolds.
To Aare Afe Babalola’s Emmanuel Chambers, a colossus you grew,
In your shadow, I learned also, your vision imbued.

A testament to dreams that are bravely retold,
With each step you take, a new future unfolds.
Guiding us forth with your visionary hand,
You empower the hearts of this beautiful land.

May this honor remind you, as you light the way,
That your legacy flourishes in all that you say.
For in every word spoken, and each life you touch,
You’ve woven a future that matters so much.

So here’s to you, Prince, the Doctor of Law, on this glorious day,
May your passion and purpose forever hold sway.
As you rise ever higher, may your spirit be free,
In the annals of justice, your name shall always be.
