Bankole Olumide Aluko, SAN - An Irreplaceable Icon | BOA Documentary

Bankole Olumide Aluko, SAN (“BOA”) was born on August 2,1956, at Massey Street Hospital in Lagos, Nigeria to the family of Mrs. Janet Adebisi and Dr. Timothy Mofolorunso Aluko. He was their fourth child.
BOA’s early education was at Maryhill Convent School in Ibadan. When his Common Entrance (as it was then called) results were released, he was one of the sixty students nationwide that were admitted into King’s College, Lagos in 1968.
At King’s College, his brilliance, leadership qualities and literary capabilities were revealed. He quickly became a leading member of the Literary and Debating Society, as well as the Drama Club. He was House Captain of Hyde-Johnson’s House (the biggest and the best!) and Secretary of the School Students Union (which was an elective post akin to today’s Speaker of the House). Not surprisingly, in the West African School Certificate Examinations 1972, BOA obtained a Grade 1.
His love for Sports and indeed his sporting abilities were unparalleled. He was a member of the School’s football team (KC Lions) and held down the No. 3 shirt as left full back during his time at King’s College. He was also a member of the School’s Hockey team. In 1974, BOA left King’s College after having completed his A Levels.
He gained admission to the Faculty of Law, University of Lagos (a.k.a. “The Faculty”), where he obtained his Bachelor’s degree in law - LL.B. As was to be expected, he excelled in all areas of endeavour during his time at the University. This is evidenced by the various awards he received including the Federal Government of Nigeria Merit Award for overall best performance, University of Lagos (1975), and the 1977 final round of the Phillip C. Jessup International Moot Court Competition, San Francisco, USA. He graduated from the University of Lagos in 1977 with a Second Class (Upper Division) degree in law.
