Mrs. Ejekam commenced legal practice as special assistant to Mr. Ferguson and rose to become full Partner of Irving and Bonnar. Through the 1980s Mr. Ferguson acted almost exclusively as sole special counsel to the ECGD British Exports Credit Guarantee Department in relation to its activities in Nigeria with Mrs. Ejekam as his Special Legal Assistant.
