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
