“I sincerely rejoice and congratulate My Dear Brother and Former Deputy Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Prof. Kingsley Chiedu Moghalu on his appointment as the inaugural president of the African School of Governance, ASG, Kigali, Rwanda by African leaders,” the post reads.
” As the pioneer president of ASG, Prof Moghalu Kingsley will draw on his wealth of knowledge and experience to contribute to addressing ‘the continent’s pressing governance challenges by offering a world-class education in public policy and governance, equipping emerging leaders with the mindsets, skills, and knowledge required for effective leadership of Africa’s future’.
“Africa, and indeed, our dear country Nigeria, has remained greatly burdened by poor governance and leadership failure.
“Institutions like these, which address the continent’s governance challenges, are critical to building a new generation of African leaders who will be competent, capable, and committed to the development of the continent.
“May God give Prof Moghalu the wisdom, strength, and grace to succeed in his new position— a New Nigeria, and indeed Africa, is POssible.”
