This book has brought into sharp focus the parts played and
contributions made to the Legal Profession in Nigeria from
Independence till today by Hairat Balogun.
Hers has been a Life of service, driven by truth and a
commitment to Justice. Service, Truth and Justice - three words -
adherence to just one of them can define someone as a person of
integrity and honour; and when all three are found in one person
they set that person apart as an icon, a yardstick for her peers,
and a model for the generation following after.
As the first lady Attorney-General of the foremost Nigerian
state i.e. Lagos State, during the military regime she exhibited,
for the first time, obedience of the Executive arm of government to
court orders in the celebrated case of Ojukwu vs Attorney General
of Lagos State and others 1986 3 NWLR (part 26) 39 Court of Appeal.
She thereby laid the foundation of the precedence of putting a stop
to the disobedience of court orders by the Military Government
dubbed as Executive Lawlessness.
The contribution of the Author to the political history of this
country was appreciated by her appointment as a member of "The
Transition to Civil Rule Tribunal" in 1987 by the then Military
Government.
I commend this book to all cadres of people, lawyers, humanists,
religious people of Christian and Muslim faith as they all will
find a lesson or two to learn.
I particularly recommend this book to our youths i.e. pupils of
secondary schools, graduates of our universities (especially
lawyers) and teacher training colleges who from this book will
learn the importance of hard work, dedication, honesty and loyalty
which are important virtues that are gradually being eroded from
our society.
