Yusuph Olaniyonu Reflects on Life-Changing Moment at 60

Yusuph Olaniyonu, as he turns 60, recounts a pivotal incident from 2006 when he was a law student at the Nigerian Law School in Lagos. On the night before the Civil Law Procedure exam, he was studying late in a reading room when a fellow student approached him for help.

A woman in labor needed urgent transportation to the Military Hospital in Ikoyi. Despite his initial confusion, Olaniyonu complied, packed his belongings, and drove without knowing the identities of his passengers.

This experience has lingered in his memory, especially as he reflects on his life during this milestone birthday. He acknowledges the support of Senator Tokunbo Afikuyomi, who arranged his accommodation during his studies.
