Obamuroh will join the firm’s International Arbitration Practice in Paris as a Partner, effective January 1, 2026. He is among only three new partners globally in this specialised practice area and the sole Nigerian-qualified lawyer in this year’s global partner class.
In a statement signed by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President (Information & Strategy), Tinubu hailed the achievement as a significant global recognition of Nigerian talent.
“President Tinubu commends this outstanding achievement as a reflection of Nigerian competence, resilience, and global excellence, noting that Tolu’s success represents the best of the country’s new generation of professionals who continue to distinguish themselves worldwide,” the statement read.
The President emphasised that Obamuroh’s rise “stands as a powerful symbol of the Renewed Hope vision — a Nigeria whose citizens lead and excel across disciplines, defined by merit, integrity, and global impact.”
Obamuroh’s career highlights include representing sovereigns and major corporations in high-value, cross-border disputes, particularly within the energy and infrastructure sectors. He also serves as a trusted adviser to the Federal Government in several international matters, working under the supervision of the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice.
Tinubu concluded by celebrating the milestone alongside Obamuroh’s family, friends, colleagues, and the wider legal community, encouraging other young Nigerians to draw inspiration from his journey of dedication, discipline, and service.
