The President noted that Solanke had won many awards and recognitions, including the Commander Order of the Niger (CON), for her courage in pursuing the truth, and advocating a better life for the less privileged.
He also extolled the legal luminary for the patriotism she has demonstrated over the years in speaking against poor governance, and always making herself available in times of need.
