Daniella Okamgba, a 2023 Law graduate of Babcock University, has distinguished herself as one of the brightest stars at the Nigerian Law School, Abuja, clinching five prestigious awards at the 2025 Call to Bar ceremony held in the Federal Capital Territory.
Okamgba, who completed her Bar Part II examinations in November 2024 with flying colours, was recognised for her exceptional academic performance with the following accolades:
Justice Olujide Shomolu Award for Best Student in Civil Litigation
Mr. D. D. Dodo OFR, SAN Award for Best Female Student in Civil Litigation
Hon. Justice Aloma Mariam Mukhtar GCON Award for Best Female Student in Civil Litigation
Chief T.O.S Benson OFR, SAN Award for Best Student of the Year (3rd Prize)
Prize for First Class Student
The 2025 Call to Bar ceremony made history, as a record-breaking 5,728 new lawyers were formally admitted to the Nigerian Bar — the highest number in the nation’s legal history. The event was jointly organised by the Nigerian Law School and the Body of Benchers.
Reacting to the achievement, the President/Vice Chancellor of Babcock University, Professor Ademola S. Tayo, expressed deep pride and excitement.
> “We are truly happy over this news. Daniella and nine other graduates of Babcock have brought honour to the university. I pray for God’s blessings upon every one of them. For Daniella, this is the beginning of great things to come, and we wish her well in all her endeavours.”
Daniella’s recognition not only highlights her personal diligence and academic excellence but also reinforces Babcock University’s commitment to producing top-tier legal professionals.
Her journey from the lecture halls of Babcock to the honour roll of the Nigerian Law School serves as an inspiration to aspiring legal minds across the continent.
