President-elect of the Nigerian Bar Association, Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya, SAN, has attributed the success she and her younger sister, Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr Jumoke Oduwole, have recorded in their careers to the values instilled in them by their parents and the environment in which they were raised.
Badejo-Okusanya stated this while speaking during an interview on TVC News on Thursday.
The NBA president-elect said she and her siblings grew up in an intellectually stimulating environment that emphasised integrity, hard work and excellence rather than pressure to succeed.
Responding to a question on whether she grew up under pressure because of her accomplished family background, she said, “Not pressure. It was almost like we took it for granted that we had to excel at everything we did.”
