Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari, has congratulated Professor Itsejuwa Sagay, as he turned 80 on December 20, 2020.
The president via his Special Adviser (Media and Publicity), Femi Adesina, described Sagay as foremost scholar, teacher, legal luminary, author, and anti-corruption crusader.
He stated: “I rejoice with the Sagay family, the academia, legal profession, and all friends and associates of the Chairman, Presidential Advisory Committee on Corruption,” stressing that his integrity and commitment to transparency marked him out as a Nigerian of sterling character.
“You have always stood by this administration, particularly in our avowed commitment to fighting corruption, and this you do without fear or favour,” Buhari said.
Besides, he wished the author of many books, including the epochal ‘The Nigerian Law of Contract’ good health, longer life, and further contributions to jurisprudence, even as he serves God and humanity.
Sagay, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), on basis of his academic works, was a high flyer, recording best academic performances in the university and bar examinations, which Buhari urged the younger generation to emulate, and set as standards for themselves.
