Zulum, Shettima to Grace ex-Supreme Court Registrar's Book Presentation


The immediate past Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, Hajiya Hadizatu Uwani Mustapha will have her biography presented to the public on Saturday, 5th February at the International Conference Centre, Abuja.

The book, titled 'Hadizatu U. Mustapha: From Head Girl to Supreme Court', is co-written by Dotun Adekanmbi, an accomplished media relations practitioner and former Editor of Business Times, and Sa’adatu Lawal-Ahmed, an upcoming author and lawyer with the Supreme Court.

Borno State Governor, Prof Babagana Zulum is Chief Host at the event, while the former Governor of that state, Senator Kashim Shettima will be the Chief Presenter of the book.

The book, published by Havilah Group, tells the story of the career of Hajiya Mustapha who retired last August as the second female to hold the distinguished position of Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.

“I agreed to the proposal to tell my story because it helps to illustrate my firm belief that the girl-child in Nigeria can achieve her best, if given the kind of unwavering support that I got from my own parents", Hajiya Mustapha said, adding, “the book will help to fully clarify my passion for promoting the interest of the girl child".

Of the book, Adekanmbi said: “I was fascinated by the story of how Hajiya Hadizatu Mustapha’s parents, her father especially, saw far into the future and accurately predicted her rise to the peak of her career. I was also fascinated by how she effortlessly built and maintains a formidable network of friends and associates across socio-economic classes just by being so caring, hardworking and unassuming".

The Chief Executive of Havilah Group, Mr. Lanre Adesuyi described the book as "a seed planted for posterity". Said he: “We mooted the idea of publishing Hadizatu U. Mustapha: From Head Girl to Supreme Court because our company, Havilah Group, is at the fore-front of promoting efficient records management in Nigeria. As Chief Registrar, Hajiya Mustapha, was instrumental to the transformation of the Supreme Court's archive to achieve workplace efficiency through seamless records management.

"That project involved proper handling of the huge volume of the Court's physical records. She also deserves to have her story properly documented".

This is just as European leaders are coming up with drastic restriction measures to curtail the spread of the virus, particularly the Omicron variant, which  is fast accounting for the major cause of Covid-19 cases in the region. For the first time in February 2020 when Nigeria registered in the Covid map, the highest daily count was recorded on Wednesday.  The 4,035 new cases reported were almost double that of 2,078 on Tuesday, which was the highest until this new infamous record. Lagos State alone accounts for 3,393 cases with the other states being Rivers (260), Edo (62), Akwa Ibom (42), Kaduna (39), Ekiti and Oyo (38 each) while Delta and Kano have 31 each.

Rising from adversity: For Adeyinka Peter Akintunde, a year after

Image
Adeyinka Peter Akintunde (11th August 1990 - 2nd February 2021) By Muyiwa Akintunde It's a day I wish never existed: 2nd February 2021. A few minutes past 10 pm, the young medical doctor that followed me back to my car that Tuesday at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja applied the tools on the body at the back seat and motioned to come along. He asked my wife to stay behind with the patient we had just brought in. Back to the doctor's corner.. "Who are you to him"?, he inquired. "He's my son", I mumbled a response. "I'm sorry, he is gone". I hardly display emotion. But for several minutes after those words of finality, I couldn't control the tears that issued from my eyes. Quickly, I realised I had to be strong. I had to be strong for my wife, who had dissolved in tears. I had to be strong for our other daughters (except the youngest, who was then on youth service in Delta State). They had found their way to the hospita...
