that though he trained as a lawyer in London School of Economics, UK, his foray into investment and banking was divinely inspired

Then providence also put it in my mind that I should read law. And I went around making enquiries as to where was best for me to read law. Somehow, my attention was drawn to London School of Economics , where I went for a course between 1956 and 1959. In 1961, after my degree, I was sent to the British Parliament for one year and after that, I spent some time in London learning how to draft agreements. I came back to the country and was appointed as crown counsel in the then Western Region and quite a lot of people were enamoured by my legal draftsmanship. After me, about five students from the Western Region were trained but in the Solicitor’s Office, not in the parliament as I was trained.

The fellow sent by the Eastern Region at that time was Mr Okagbue, who later became Justice Okagbue in the Court of Appeal in the Eastern Region. The two of us were judiciary staff members but I was very young. Going beyond that, they provided me, a bachelor, at 28, with one of the most prestigious residences on Glover Road, Lagos. I started wondering that this my God must be so kind and wonderful to me. I just feel that my good Lord is guiding me because I am a favoured child of God.
