“Indeed, all honours are from God and He bestows them on whom He wills,” Akangbe remarked, noting that Prof. Ali's professional excellence and numerous acts of service to the Ilorin community, the legal profession, and the nation make him truly deserving of this distinguished honor.

Akangbe prayed for Prof. Ali, asking Almighty God to continue to bless him, grant him long life, and strengthen him in his service to God and humanity.

Prof. Yusuf Olaolu Ali, SAN, is widely respected within the Nigerian legal community for his scholarship, leadership, and philanthropic efforts. His latest honour further cements his standing as a revered figure both within and beyond the legal profession.
