President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated Nigerian lawyer, Mr. Tolu Obamuroh, on his elevation to the partnership of White & Case LLP, one of the world’s leading international law firms headquartered in New York.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, the President described the appointment as a testament to Nigerian excellence, resilience, and global competence.
Mr. Obamuroh, who will serve as Partner in the firm’s International Arbitration Practice in Paris from January 1, next year, is one of only three new global partners in the division and the only one based in Paris.
President Tinubu commended the lawyer’s remarkable career, noting that he has represented sovereigns and major corporations in complex, high-value cross-border disputes across the energy and infrastructure sectors.
He further lauded Mr. Obamuroh’s ongoing contributions as a trusted adviser to the Government of Nigeria under the supervision of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice.
According to the President, Tolu’s elevation represents the very essence of the Renewed Hope Vision, a nation whose citizens lead and excel across global disciplines with integrity, competence, and impact.
President Tinubu joined the legal community, family, and friends of the newly appointed partner in celebrating the milestone, urging young Nigerians to draw inspiration from his journey as proof that dedication and discipline can propel them to global prominence.
With his elevation into the partnership of White & Case LLP, one of the world’s leading international law firms headquartered in New York, Obamuroh now distinguishes himself as the only Nigerian-qualified lawyer in this year’s global partner class, a reflection of exceptional merit and professional achievement.
