Senator Makarfi Bags Doctorate Degree from
KASU
Kaduna State University (KASU), will confer an Honorary Doctorate
Degree in Management on Distinguished Senator Ahmed Mohammed
Makarfi at its convocation ceremony slated for Saturday, 8th
December 2018.
The decision to honour Makarfi with the award, according to the
Vice Chancellor of the University, Professor Mohammed Tanko, was in
recognition of the Senator’s numerous contributions to nation
building across time.
Some of the contributions, according to the Vice Chancellor,
apart from establishing the University in the first place,
included, among others, the political and administrative dexterity
with which he handled issues as Governor of Kaduna State from 1999
to 2007.
During his tenure, the state witnessed massive infrastructural
developments in both rural and urban areas as he doggedly and
successfully campaigned for peace and harmony in the complex and
multi-ethnic and multi-religious state.
Senator Makarfi was founding member of the Board of Trustees of
the Institute of Peace and Conflict Resolution, Abuja before
becoming Governor of Kaduna State. He served as Chairman Senate
Committee on Finance for eight years. He resolved to remain in the
PDP to rescue it at its hour of dire need. Through his commitment
and dexterity, he brought the party back to life at a time many had
given it up for dead.
All these and others, the University believed were evidence of
Senator Makarfi’s “democratic resoluteness and passion for Nigeria,
borne out of the need to build a strong, united, prosperous and
resourceful nation”, and for which the award was fitting.
