The sad news of the passing on of Professor Benjamin Obi Nwabueze, first academic Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), “Professor of Professors”, as he was fondly referred to in Nigeria, is still reverberating in academic, legal fraternity and international circles. Many well-deserved tributes to the remarkable man and his memory are still circulating.
Please indulge me, l also thought I should share a personal tribute to him, expressing my gratitude and indebtedness to the great man. Ben Nwabueze was a remarkable man, an outstanding teacher, lawyer, law maker and scholar. He typified the excellence that Africa produces, for the most not fully acknowledged. He was an African treasure of the highest quality.
