African Leaders Must Be Cautious In Signing International Agreements- Falana
The renowned human rights lawyer, Mr Femi Falana (SAN CON), has said that many international agreements imposed on Africa undermine the continent’s interests.
Speaking at the International Conference on Law and Career (ICOLAC’25) organised by the Law Students Society of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, on Tuesday, Falana said many of such deals perpetuate neocolonialism.
While calling on African legal practitioners to scrutinise those agreements thoroughly, Falana warned African leaders not to mortgage the future of the continent.
Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, who was represented by his deputy, Prince Kola Adewusi, in his remarks, lauded the leadership of the Law Students’ Society OAU for organising such an innovative conference.
In his remarks, the President of the Law Students’ Society OAU, Kayode Taiwo Matthew (KTM), remarked that the LSS is not waiting for the future, but already shaping it. KTM said the conference was organised to shape the next generation of Nigeria’s legal elite and to ignite a change.
He noted that his administration had recorded over 20 remarkable achievements, which include bringing members of the Law Students’ society OAU together to raise an emergency solidarity fund of over 40 million Naira within 72 hours for a fellow student in urgent medical crisis.
KTM also said LSS facilitated a paid legal internship scheme for LSS members as a form of economic empowerment and legal training opportunities at the same time.
