Vice President of the Nigerian Branch of the ILA, Dr. Damilola S. Olawuyi, has been awarded the Herbert Smith Freehills Visiting Professorship at the Faculty of Law, University of Cambridge, United Kingdom from May 2019.

The Herbert Smith Freehills Visitor Fellowship provides financial support for leading academics from across the world to conduct collaborative academic research at the Cambridge Faculty of Law. Also, to facilitate high-quality interaction between legal academics and practitioners, visiting scholars are also often invited to speak at the London office of Herbert Smith Freehills.

During this visit, Professor Olawuyi will undertake comparative and collaborative evaluation of law, governance and contractual aspects of structuring, financing, designing and operating public-private energy infrastructure projects in the Gulf region, with the aim to draw lessons from the United Kingdom’s public private partnerships (PPP) framework.

Congratulations to Dr. Damilola Olawuyi!
