FORMAL PRESENTATION OF HALLMARKS OF LABOUR VOLUME 10

Hallmarks of Labour Volume 10

I am delighted to announce the upcoming release of my next book, Hallmarks of Labour Volume 10 and the Foreword by Hon. Justice Aloma Mariam Mukhtar, CON, CFR, GCON, DR, HLR – former Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN). 

It focuses on the lives and achievements of four eminent personalities, icons of our time – two of the Legal Profession and two others from Academia:

1. Hon. Justice Adolphus Karibi-Whyte, CON, CFR, HLR — A quintessential jurist, scholar, author, Professor of Law, and the second Nigerian to move directly from academia to the Higher Bench. He was a Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria for 18 years, a Judge of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and Chairman, Nigerian Constitutional Conference, to mention a few special assignments. Hon. Justice Karibi-Whyte was a consummate judicial officer, driven by his passion for justice according to law and reputed for his integrity.                                                                                                                                                                                                      
2. Hon. Justice Isa Ayo Salami, OFR, PCA (Rtd.), HLR — A distinguished jurist, a man of great courage and integrity, and former President of the Court of Appeal, Nigeria. He rose through the mill of jurisprudence and advocacy; in the public services of the then North-Central, Kwara and Kaduna States and served variously as State Counsel, Solicitor-General, Permanent Secretary and Director of Public Prosecutions. Appointed a Judge of the High Court of Justice in 1978, he was named to the Court of Appeal in 1998 and became its President in 2009. He confronted powerful vested interests and remains one of the relatively few public officers who sacrificed their careers in their passion for justice, honour and integrity.                                                                                                                                                    
3. Emeritus Professor Ladipo Ayodeji Banjo, CON, FNAL, NNOM, JP, HLR – Educationist, Administrator, Professor of English Studies and a trail-blazer in the field of Applied English and Social Linguistics.  He is an innovative and multi-disciplinary scholar with a passionate belief in unity of knowledge.
4. Professor Allen Bankole Oladunmoye  Olukayode [ABOO] Oyediran, MD, FRCP, FRCPE, FMCPH, FWACP, FNAMed, FAcadMedS, FUI (hc), HLR – Distinguished Scholar, Physician, Epidemiologist, Administrator and a Professor of Preventive and Social Medicine.​
