“On behalf of the Welfare Committee of the NBA, my Firm, and my
humble self, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the family,
friends and the Lagos Branch of the NBA on the demise of a
colossus- Alhaji Mikail Adisa Bashua, SAN.
“Born into the illustrious Bashua chieftaincy family of Lagos,
Alhaji Bashua redefined himself not by the family fortunes, but
through hard work and commitment which saw him called to the
English Bar the same year Nigeria got her independence. He branched
out to be elected into the Federal House of Representatives for the
Lagos Constituency from 1962 to 1964. He returned to his Firm after
serving the Country as a Public Servant to build a rebuttable Firm
– M.A. Bashua & Co.
“Through dint of hard work, Alhaji Bashua attained the enviable
status of a Learned Silk and etched himself into our Jurisprudence
through remarkable advocacy. Mohammed V. Olawuni remains a locus
classicus on the principle of when to seek the leave of Court to
Appeal the decision of a Lower Court. He was bestowed with the
National Honor of Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON) by the
Federal Government of Nigeria in the year 2008.” Maikyau said in
his condolence message
He added that Bashua has set an enviable standard that many in
the legal profession will strive to attain. He prays for the
deceased’s soul to rest in peace
Maikyau said, “The Learned Silk, through his personal and
professional life set an enviable standard that many of us will
continue to strive to attain.
“May the soul of Alhaji Bashua Rest in Peace, and May God bless
his family, friends, and the entire Lagos Branch of the NBA.”
