The Head of the Interim National Government (ING) of Nigeria, Chief Ernest Shonekan, is dead.
Shonekan, who succeeded former Military President, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, died in Lagos at the age of 85.
The ING was put in place by the Babangida-led military junta in the aftermath of the annulled June 12, 1993 presidential election acclaimed to have been won by the late Chief MKO Abiola.

Shonekan, who hails from Ogun State, was a lawyer by profession and also served in many companies. He was onetime Chairman and Managing Director of the United Africa Company (UAC).
