ASTUTE JUDICIAL JUDGMENTS & ESSAYS: In Honour of Justice Nayai Aganaba (2022) by Oghenemaro Festus Emiri & Chidi Lloyd

“The judgments of His Lordship that are published in this book reveal His Lordship’s depth of knowledge of the law, candour and judicial acumen. They are a must-read not only for lawyers, but also for law students because of their simplicity and non-use of difficult and confusing words and expressions. There is so much to learn from them. As for the essays published in the book, they are very well-researched and written by respectable authors, including Judges, academics and practising lawyers, some of whom are Senior Advocates of Nigeria. Even His Lordship, the Honourable Chief Judge of Bayelsa State, Honourable Justice Kate Abiri has made out time to discuss the prospects and future of the judiciary in Bayelsa State. I truly commend these essays to you all.” KEMASUODE WODU, SAN, Formerly Honourable Attorney-General of Bayelsa State, Former National Legal Adviser, Nigerian Bar Association
