As Nigerians prepare to welcome 2026, legal expert Yusuf Olalekan Emiola Esq. has called on citizens to prioritize critical legal issues, emphasizing personal identification, cybercrime awareness, and overall legal preparedness. Emiola made these insights during a highly informative session on Ogun State Television, joining via Zoom from his office.
