A Life of Excellence Beyond Law

Blending career highlights with personal pursuits.

Outside of her legal work, Ejide embodies a life of balance, curiosity, and grace. She finds joy in playing tennis, exploring new cultures, and hosting with warmth and elegance. Whether navigating high-stakes legal complexities or curating a beautiful table for friends and family, she approaches life with the same philosophy: excellence is a lifestyle, not a title.

P&I insurance covers some of the most critical categories of marine cover, protecting vessel owners from liabilities tied to environmental damage, cargo claims, collision, crew injury, and third-party litigation.

A homegrown P&I club — phased, regulated, and reinsurance-backed — is not only possible, but long overdue.

This is not only a contradiction of national policy. It is a missed economic opportunity.”
