Working with Chidi in the Nigerian Global Affairs Council (NIGAC) made me realize his passion and interest in fostering policies that can embed Human Capital Development within our National Development Framework for our Young People. Chidi has been very valuable in the solutions, ideas, and impact the NIGAC has achieved over the course of the 6 months since we started our operations in July 2020. Due to Chidi's commitment and drive to the ideals and dream of a better Nigerian led by Policy Technocrats in the future, Chidi got promoted in January 2021 to Director of the NIGAC Honorary Membership Platform called Good Governance Advocates that supports the growth and development of 1,000 Nigerians interested in promoting Good Governance and Accountability across our National and Sub-national spectrum. I will strongly recommend Chidi anytime, any day for a common cause that adds value to our individual or collective pursuits.
