In 1979, he undertook the mandatory one year professional training at the Nigerian Law School prior to being admitted to practice as a barrister and solicitor of Nigeria's Supreme Court. In 1980, he attended the London School of Economics, where he obtained his Master of Laws.

Academic career and appointmentsEdit
While at the Law School, he interned with the law firm of Chief Obafemi Awolowo. From late 1979- 1980, he did his National Youth Service with the Bendel Development and Planning Authority (BDPA) as a legal officer. In 1981, he commenced academic work as a lecturer at the University of Lagos and occupied the position until 1988, when he was appointed as Special Adviser to the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice (legal advice and litigation) of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Prince Bola Ajibola from 1988 to 1991.[5][6] He was an adviser to the Attorney-General of the Federation until 1992, when he went back to lecturing. He became a Professor of Law in 1990 at the age of 33 (thirty three). Thereafter, he established a law practice (Osinbajo, Kukoyi & Adokpaye) as a partnership, while he concurrently was a Professor of Law and Head of Department of Public Law (1997–1999) at the University of Lagos. In 1999, he was appointed a member and secretary of a Think Tank and Transition Work Group that deliberated on strategies to transition from Military rule to democratic government in Lagos State. Bola Tinubu had just been elected as Governor of the State. Owing to his reform-minded contributions to the justice sector, he was appointed into the Cabinet after the inauguration of the Government in May 1999. Thus, he served as the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice from 1999 to 2007.

He later joined the services of the University of Lagos where he became a professor of Public law and was appointed as the Head of Department of Public Law in 1997, a position he held for 2 years (1997-1999).[7] After his tenure in 1999, he was immediately appointed as the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice of Lagos State under the administration of senator Bola Tinubu, who is now the National Leader of the All Progressive Congress, APC. Osinbajo held this position for 8 years, until the end of his tenure in 2007.[8]

From June 2007, he became Senior Partner at the law firm of SimmonsCooper Partners. He was also a visiting Professor of Law, Department of Public Law, Faculty of Law, University of Lagos. Yemi has served on the United Nations Secretary General’s Committee of Experts on Conduct and Discipline of UN Peacekeeping Personnel (2006); United Nations Operations in Somalia, Staff Member, Justice Division, UNOSOM II (1997–1999);

He is also the chairman, Board of Trustees (BOT) of Redeemer's University[9] and a solicitor to the former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Alhaji Sanusi Lamido Sanusi on the suits against Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.[10][11]

Political careerEdit
After the formation of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2013, Yemi was tasked, with other notable Nigerians, to design and produce a manifesto for the new political party. This culminated in the presentation of the Roadmap to a New Nigeria in March 2014. The highlights of the Roadmap included a free schools meal plan, a conditional cash transfer to the 25 million poorest Nigerians if they enroll children in school and immunize them. There were also a number of programs designed to create economic opportunities for Nigeria's massive youth population.[12]

On 17 December 2014, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Retired General Muhammadu Buhari announced him as his running mate and vice-presidential candidate during the 2015 General Elections.[13][14][15][16]

We need people like him as a leader in Nigeria, som1 that can use his intellect(the abillity to think in a logical way). Someone that can stand 1 on 1 with other presidents in the world without intimidation. #Buhar and #Osinbajo will make diff in this country #VoteChange.

Osinbajo is married to Oludolapo Osinbajo, a granddaughter of Obafemi Awolowo, and has three children [18]

The grand daughter of awolo must be a beneficiary of a awolo political DNA and luck

Seriously speaking... This man is loaded! We want people like this as leaders. He is not ignorant of the vices of leadership. Not a Zoologist. Check out Buhari's profile too. They are so loaded.

BRILLIANT
