"Olumide Akpata is a Progressive Man With the Interest of Young Lawyers at Heart”- Oyinkansola "Foza" Fawehinmi, Foremost Entertainment Lawyer, Speaks
I met Mr Olumide Akpata in 2017. He called me one Wednesday afternoon and said his name was Olumide Akpata and he heard about me from one of his friends. He specifically said he was in search of a young lawyer in the specialized field of Entertainment law and someone dropped my name. He wanted me on a panel to discuss my journey. When I got the list of my co-panelists, I was scared. Mr Akpata told me a story of his journey as a young lawyer and gave me one advice, “Do you, as far as you believe in yourself. “
That singular act catapulted my career significantly to the position I am as an entrepreneur in the Legal and Entertainment space.
Mr Akpata is a progressive man with the interest of young lawyers at heart. It would be a breath of fresh air to have such exposed mind lead the NBA. I am very expectant of what he would do if given the opportunity to serve.
