March 1970 - All-Africa Constitutional Conference - New Hope For Nigeria's future came when Lieutenant-Colonel Gowon opened the All-Africa Constitutional Conference. When Major -General Yakubu Gowon had to assume power in 1966, the Nigerian house was in a state of chaotic disorder, torn apart by tribalism, corruption and ambition. And as the young Yakubu Gowon voluntarily took it upon himself to try and repair this crumbling structure, the attendant reactions were mixed. Some people felt that he must be either an impetuous fool or just a plain joker. (Photograph by Drum Photographer @ BAHA)
