Lagos Assembly swears in Adenike Oshinowo as first female clerk
Lagos State House of Assembly has inaugurated Barrister Adenike Oshinowo as the new Clerk of the Assembly following the retirement of Barrister Olalekan Onafeko.
Oshinowo, who was appointed on April 28, 2026, made history as the first woman to occupy the position since the establishment of the Assembly.
A specialist in legislative drafting, she is widely regarded for her experience in parliamentary administration, legal advisory services and public sector governance.
She obtained a Master of Laws, LL.M, degree in Legislative Drafting from the Nigerian Institute of Advanced Legal Studies and a Bachelor of Laws LL.B, degree from Lagos State University. She was called to the Nigerian Bar in 1995.
Oshinowo began her professional career in private legal practice before joining the Lagos State Civil Service in 1997 as a Legal Draftsman.
Her career within the Lagos State House of Assembly started in 1999, where she served until 2006 before moving to the Ministry of Justice. She later returned to the Assembly in 2008 and steadily advanced through various positions, eventually becoming Deputy Clerk in 2021 before her elevation to Clerk in 2026.
She belongs to several professional associations, including the Nigerian Bar Association and the International Bar Association.
Over the years, Oshinowo has received several recognitions for her service, including the Lagos State House of Assembly Long Service Award.
