The Political Educator Episode

Kingsley Moghalu, the newly minted head of the newly minted African School of Governance, presents his super impressive backstory with pride, with the conviction of a man who believes he is walking his destiny and manifesting the strategy he (and his much-revered father) laid out. A proud Igbo, this is a man whose Chi has clearly said YES, when he proclaimed that YES for himself.

Just a few months after his birth in Lagos, he was beginning the globe-trotting that would mark his journey – Switzerland, Washington, Cambodia, New York, Croatia, Tanzania, Geneva and now, Kigali. More of that later. To ‘strong, visionary and kind’ (his own words), one could add STRATEGIC and tell no lie – he fully owns it.
