President Buhari salutes the courage, adeptness and rigorousness of the former Executive Secretary and Head of Secretariat of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), who drove the advisory and strategic work of the think-tank to prepare key policy and anti-corruption strategy interventions of the government since 2015.

 

As Prof. Owasanoye turns 60, the President notes his contributions to the law profession in Nigeria and beyond, with a commendable profile of working as Director of Research, and later Research Fellow at Nigerian Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, Professorial Research Associate, School of Oriental and African Studies University of London, and Visiting Professor, University of Pretoria, while consulting for many multilateral institutions. 

 

President Buhari prays that the Almighty God will strengthen the Chairman of ICPC in health, insight and capacity to keep serving the nation.
