Jega Returns 1 Jega Returns 2 Jega Returns 3 Jega ReturnsBefore his appointment by former president Goodluck Jonathan, very few Nigerians know about the existence of the former boss of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof Attahiru Jega.
That the softly Prof saddled with conducting free fair and credible elections in year 2011 and 2015 was able to muster the courage and deliver the result is a write up for another day.
The decorum personified former INEC boss has wasted no time in going back to his first love, imparting academic knowledge within the four walls of a tertiary institution. Professor Attahiru Jega is precisely back at the Department of Political Science, Bayero University Kano, having successfully laid a landmark in how elections ought to be conducted.
The man who stood against the ‘still birth’ of change as would have happened if the crude antics of a onetime minister was not maturely dismissed, was sighted in the school campus exchanging pleasantries as he humbly made his way towards his office. It seems Prof. Jega cannot wait to impart what he has learnt as a case study on the ‘field’ during his tenure at INEC to his students, as against all norms and expectations of cooling off in exotic places after a rigorous time at the service to the nation; he opted to continue with his lecturing career to the delight of his employers and students who are very excited to have him back in their fold, having marvellously represented the institution, himself and country. Selflessness can’t come any better than this. Prof Jega is Indeed a hero’s hero.
