The Clementina Legal Aid Philanthropy (CLAP) Foundation will be officially inaugurated on November 29, 2025, at the Sheraton Hotel in Ikeja, Lagos. The landmark event is expected to draw high-profile dignitaries and stakeholders from across Africa.
Established to champion access to justice for the underserved, the CLAP Foundation is dedicated to providing free or subsidized legal aid to vulnerable individuals. Its core focus includes supporting those who have been wrongfully detained, denied fair legal representation, or held in custody due to inability to meet bail conditions stemming from financial constraints.
With its official launch, CLAP Foundation aims to be a beacon of hope for those who have long been silenced or sidelined by systemic barriers to justice.
For many Africans silenced by poverty and trapped in cycles of injustice, CLAP’s inauguration represents the beginning of a new era of hope. The foundation anticipates strong support from local communities, legal practitioners, and international partners as it builds a sustainable movement toward justice and equality across the continent.
Speaking ahead of the event, Solicitor Ayo Modupe, a Trustee and member of the planning committee, said the foundation seeks genuine Africans who are committed to reforming the justice system and championing fairness within society.
He added that the official inauguration would not only transform lives but also create a lasting legacy for those who have contributed to the realization of the initiative.
According to Mr Modupe, the foundation’s ultimate goal is to strengthen the resolve of Africans into doing the right thing, especially within the African justice system.
