Plans have been concluded for the public presentation of the autobiography of Hon. Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) in the nation's capital, Abuja, soon.
The book, with the title, ‘Judging with Justice’, is to be unveiled on the Hon. Jurist's birthday, and it is the engaging narrative of the life and career of the CJN.
In a statement issued and signed by Olanrewaju Akinsola, on behalf of the Organising Committee, the prestigious event is scheduled to take place on Thursday, August 22, 2024, at the International Conference Centre, Abuja.
Among the dignitaries expected at the occasion is the former Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, while Justice Benedict Kanyip, is the Book Reviewer.
The autobiography, designed to mark the CJN's retirement, "Is a candid and introspective account of Justice Ariwoola's journey through the ranks of the judiciary, highlighting his experiences, challenges, and triumphs.
“The book offers a rare glimpse into the mind of a judicial Icon who has played a pivotal role in shaping Nigeria's judicial landscape."
The event, which coincides with the 70th birthday of the foremost jurist and his formal retirement as the CJN, will have in attendance leading dignitaries from the Bench, the Bar, and the public.
The book, according to Justice Monica Bolna'an Dongban-Mensem, the President of the Court of Appeal, who wrote the Foreword, “is written in Justice Ariwoola’s characteristic flowing prose and simple yet powerful language and will take the reader on a colourful voyage of fascinating adventures starting from Iseyin, to lle-Ife, to Akure, to Ibadan, to Oyo, to Kaduna, to Enugu, to Lagos, before finally berthing in Abuja like the climax of a blockbuster movie flick.”
According to Akinsola, the book presentation is a landmark event which promises to be a significant milestone in the nation's judicial history, offering a unique opportunity for legal practitioners, scholars, and the public to gain an insight into the life and times of one of Nigeria's most respected jurists.
