The Anambra State Government has congratulated Africa’s foremost constitutional law scholar, Professor Ben Nwabueze, on the attainment of 90 years, describing him as a global treasure.


 
In a message signed by Governor Willie Obiano, the Anambra State government said that Professor Nwabueze is a genius well recognized at Harvard University and other key centres of learning around the world.
 
The governor said that he is probably the world’s greatest constitutional law thinker alive at least in the English-speaking world.
 
Governor Obiano recalled how the Supreme Court of Nigeria decades ago , officially proclaimed Nwabueze the leading authority on constitutional issues throughout Africa.
 
The message which was made available to the media by C. Don Adinuba
Commissioner for Information & Public Enlightenment,    government and people of Anambra State are truly grateful that at 90 years Professor Nwabueze is not only alive but reasons most profoundly and writes so enchantingly and so lucidly and so logically. The flourish of his writing is matchless.
 
It will be recalled that on February 27, 2019, Professor Nwabueze presented two new books at the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs, Victoria Island, Lagos.
 
Obiano extolled Nwabueze, a former Minister of Education, for authoring over 30 books and over 100 academic articles.
 
Nwabueze, according to Governor Obiano, became one of the few persons in history to receive the PhD of the University of London, where he had earlier earned a bachelors’ degree in law with distinction, based on his globally influential publications.
 
The governor commended Nwabueze for his role as the founding Secretary General of Ohaneze Ndigbo, the pan Igbo organization.
 
Applauding the heroic efforts of people like Nwabueze, the governor said that Ohaneze has been growing from strength to strength decades later.
 
He also praised Nwabueze, Nigeria’s first academic to be bestowed the honour of being made a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), .
 
To mark Professor Nwabueze’s 90th birthday, Governor Obiano paid an undisclosed sum for Nwabueze’s new books to be sent to the state’s tertiary institutions.
