Prof Ibrahim Gambari: A breath of fresh air vanguardnews
It was in the year 1997 and I had just been elected as the Public Relations Officer of the African Society of International Studies at the Ahmadu Bello University Zaria.
We made contact with the foreign affairs ministry and we were soon to find ourselves at the Abuja Sheraton Hotel and Towers. The simplicity of Professor Gambari was immediately noticeable when we finally met him. Prof would stop at nothing to provide mentorship and guidance to the association.The credentials and experience of Professor Gambari inspires confidence in the fact that he has the capacity to handle naturally challenging tasks.
The expectations are quite high for this gentle professor. With his inclusion in the leadership of the think- thank of Mr President, I foresee an improved positioning and perception of Nigeria within the comity of nations. The executive arm of government may now have an opportunity to develop domestic policies that will, in turn, strengthen our foreign policy approach.
Nigerians will expect to see elaborate efforts being deployed to achieve extensive nation building, bridge building and balancing in the distribution of who gets what, when and how. His knowledge of the international political and economic environment coupled with his network of international friends should help to enhance multilateral cooperation with other countries with an aim to eliminate terrorism through diplomatic means.
