NIGERIA'S GOLDEN JUBILEE

Nigeria gained independence from the UK on 1 October 1960.

Fast forward to 2010 - during the day, the Dream Team worked flat out dealing with the news and aftermath of explosions in Abuja. Then in the evening, some of us put on our glad rags to represent the office as we joined in the 50th anniversary celebrations.

The head of our team missed out on a delightful evening because there was still work to do.
