Description
Sir Adetokunbo Ademola as Chief Justice of the Federation of Nigeria occupies a unique position. He is at the end of the old and at the same time at the beginning of a new era. He will be the last Chief Justice of the Federation to be appointed by the Governor-General on the instructions of Her Majesty through a Secretary of State. He will also be the first Chief Justice of an Independent Federation of Nigeria. It is therefore a worthy attempt on the part of the writer of this book to embark upon writing his biography. Works of this nature inevitably throw light upon the history of our times at least in the sphere of activities where the life portrayed has its greatest impact. I believe therefore that this work will threw light for future historians of the Judiciary in Nigeria.
