Christmas is in the air and this is generally the season when the spirit of giving and goodwill pervades the atmosphere. Or is should be the season. However, Nigerians seem to be a little short in the goodwill department with regards to their President, Umaru Musa Yar’ Adua. So many rumours and allegations are running around; no one actually knows the state of the President’s health; unless we choose to have faith and take the assertions of his character witnesses – his sister and mother. And is faith not part of the season? Whichever way it pans out, we at The Nigerian Lawyer wish Mr. President speedy recovery. And even though we are a little confused as to why the government was not handed over to his Vice, in the Spirit of the season, we will try to offer our unwavering support and understanding.
On the SPOTLIGHT this month is Seyi Akinwunmi. Seyi Akinwunmi is a lawyer, a seasoned speaker and a gentleman. He is a Partner in the firm, Akinwunmi & Busari and is also the President of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Practitioners in Nigeria. He was called to the Nigerian Bar in 1985 and has had over 24 (twenty four) years experience as a Legal Practitioner and Insolvency Consultant, with a specialization in secured credit transactions, debt and corporate recovery, insolvency and turn around strategies. He was fun to interact with and we learned so much from him, which we would love to share with you. Oh, Seyi is also a blogger, feel free to check his blog before coming back to read the interview.
