Hitting the age of 60 in a country where the life expectancy is 54.33 years, is a privilege that may not easily be available to many. The Chairman, Council of Legal Education, Chief Emeka Ngige, SAN turned 60 on Sunday, July 11, 2021, and in a chat with Onikepo Braithwaite and Jude Igbanoi, he defended his unflinching faith in the Nigerian nation, and why he doesnât believe in IPOBâs agitation for self-determination, but rather a country based on equitable distribution of resources, appointments and projects. He also makes a case for Devolution of Powers and State Police
Congratulations on your 60th birthday, Learned Silk. We wish you many more happy, useful, and prosperous years. As you have just turned 60, do you still have faith in the Nigeri-an nation, given the present insecurity, eco-nomic and ethnic challenges?
