Lekan Fadina, a former general manager of the Nigeria Stock
Exchange (NSE), has described Ibrahim Gambari, chief of staff to President
Muhammadu Buhari, as a well groomed diplomat.
Following the death of Abba Kyari, Buhari appointed Gambari
as his chief of staff on Wednesday.
In an article, Fadina said he has known Gambari for about
three decades and they have shared experiences on the development of Nigeria.
“He is cool, calculated, humble, respectable, highly
cerebral and focus. He is a well groomed diplomat, teacher, former minister,
researcher and international civil servant,” he said.
“He is widely known, respected within the diplomatic and
international community for his outstanding performances. He is an outstanding
scholar who has delivered many papers on various topics. He has spoken in
different fora about international relations, Nigeria unity, harnessing Nigeria
great potentials, diversification of Nigeria economy, cultural diversity,
religion and authority.
“He believes that every Nigeria has the right as the other
person and as such respect for one’s right and maintenance of a disciplined
society. He frowns at the abuse of public office and to him service to humanity
is the greatest service of man.
“He believed that leaders must show by examples and deal
with the people with fairness. He believes in conversation, sharing knowledge
and intellectual discourse as instrument of involving participation from the
bottom of the pyramid.
“He believes that Nigeria must take proper place in Africa
and play key role in the Africa continental free trade which he sees as the
next frontier of development.”
Fadina said he knows Gambari as someone who wants Nigeria to
move from potential to reality in all aspects of development.
He added that for Gambari, there’s a need for a paradigm
shift in the Nigeria project through knowledge and technology, shaping policies
and actions that address specific challenges and gaps impacting investors,
enterprises, human capital and society.
