The name rings a bell here and there although the core of the message of the bell is awaiting consolidation. That is probably because Prof Chris Kwaja is still highly distributed into academia, civil society, policy and engagements of quasi-diplomatic nature.
By age, he is equipped to carry on although he might need to concentrate if he is to emerge as one of those by whom remaking Nigeria might be possible.
However, that is a matter for tomorrow. Today is party day. He is a year older. There must be party for that. No claims of economic kwashiorkor in the country will be accepted from Prof. Not when a whole governor has joined others in felicitating with Kwaja, an Associate Professor of International Relations and Strategic Studies at Modibbo Adama University, Yola and the Acting Country Director of USIP in Nigeria on his birthday.
A statement by Gyang Bere, the Director of Press and Public Affairs to the Governor Caleb Muftwang of Plateau State quotes His Excellency as lauding Prof. Kwaja for his remarkable contributions to the search for lasting peace in the country, particularly in Northern Nigeria.
Governor Mutfwang equally acknowledged Prof. Kwaja’s impactful life marked by resilience, dedication, and excellence. He drew on his memories of Prof. Kwaja’s tenure as Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, crediting him with strategic contributions to the socio-economic development of the state and urging him to continue providing exemplary leadership and steadfast commitment to peace and unity in the country.
