As a former Director of the Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD-West Africa), Chairman of the Editorial Board at Premium Times, and Senior Fellow at CDD-West Africa, Prof. Jibrin has tirelessly championed democratic values, good governance, and accountability throughout his career. His legacy includes shaping policy, mentoring future leaders, and ensuring that the voice of truth remains strong in the face of challenges.

West Africa's wealth in natural resources is a double-edged sword-fueling economic potential but also driving environmental destruction and human rights violations. From Ghana's gold mines to Nigeria's oil fields, the struggle between prosperity and poverty is stark. How can we turn this 'resource curse' into a force for positive change? Our latest blog addresses this here: cddwestafrica.org/blog/mining-na… #CDDInsights #Mining #WestAfrica #NaturalResources

Today marks a significant milestone for Nigeria as it celebrates 25 years of democracy. However, it's essential to reflect on our progress critically. Nigeria's ranking of 104th out of 167 countries in the latest Democracy Index report by the Economist Intelligence Unit, with a score of 4.23/10, underscores the challenges we face in strengthening our democratic institutions. Nonetheless, this moment serves as an opportunity for renewed commitment to enhancing democracy and fostering inclusive governance for all Nigerians. Happy Democracy Day, Nigeria 🇳🇬 #democracyday
