Abiru mourns Benson
“He was a selfless man in his lifetime who lived for others. Late Chief B.O. Benson, KJW, SAN, was instrumental to the transformational development of my alma-mata, Lagos State University (LASU).
“Late Chief Benson’s sterling achievements in various positions he held brought honour to Ikorodu Land and the people. As a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, chief Benson left an indelible legacy.
“Chief Benson (SAN), an erudite legal luminary was a contemporary of my late father – Senator, The Honourable Justice Mubasheer Akanbi Olatunji Abiru. They belonged to the generation of young lawyers of the Ikorodu extraction pre-independence Nigeria.
“They were both illustrious members of the progressive’s clan. They jointly pushed for development that impacted greater number of the people.”
