1 ng = 1*10^-9 g = 4.8*10^3 Bq
1 g = 4.8*10^12 Bq
the specific activity of an isotope is found by
A = ln(2)/T1/2 * N/M
with T1/2 = half life in seconds
N = Avogadro's constant = 6.022*10^23 atoms/mol
M = molecular mass in g = 44
T1/2 = ln(2)*N/(A*M)
T1/2 = ln(2)*6.022*10^23/(4.8*10^12*44)
T = 1.976*10^9 s
T = 1.976*10^9/(365*24*60^2) years
= 62.65 years
(Wiki says 49 years though)
