The former Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Alhaji Salihu Alfa Belgore, on Sunday hosted dignitaries to mark his 80th birthday.
In a statement in Abuja on Thursday, the President joined professional colleagues, family and friends of the legal luminary in commemorating his birthday.

Belgore as public servant had variously served as judge, chief judge, justice of the Court of Appeal, before being elevated to Supreme Court Bench in 1986, from where he reached the pinnacle of his career as Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN).

Born on Jan. 17, 1937 in Ilorin, the Kwara capital, Belgore attended Okesuna Primary School, as well as Middle School in Ilorin before he proceeded to Ilesa Grammar School where he obtained the West Africa School Certificate in 1956.
He received bachelor’s degree in Law in 1963 and trained at Middle Temple for one year before he returned to Nigeria in 1964 and served magistrate in Northern Nigeria.

The octogenarian was the 10th chief justice of Nigeria. He was preceded by Muhammad Lawal Uwais and succeeded by Idris Legbo Kutigi.
