FOR ATTAHIRU JEGA: A TRIBUTE
On January 11, 1993, Newswatch named Attahiru Jega its
Man of the Year. He was barely 30 years old when he had
been elected president of the Academic Staff Union of
Universities in 1987 and successfully led the union in its
confrontation with the military regime. Along the way, he
endured detention while resisting incredible pressure including

that regime’s famed capacity to co-opt opponents and the
timelessly Nigerian appeal to not embarrass a government
headed by one’s ‘brother’, in this case, a fellow Northern
Muslim. Jega’s ASUU prevailed after a gruelling standoff in
1992 earning the concessions it was demanding for
improvements in university education while he cemented a
reputation for integrity and principled activism.
Jega’s most recent job as chair of the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) came to an end a few weeks
ago. Few people leave such a high-pressure job with their
reputations intact. Jega handled the task of refereeing
Nigeria’s politicians with remarkable grace and fortitude and,
in the process, presided over an epoch-making election that
has gone some way towards restoring confidence in our
democratic possibilities. In overseeing the polls, Jega
withstood considerable pressure from vested interests to
sabotage the nation’s rendezvous with destiny.
It is interesting to be able to trace a line of congruence over a
span of nearly thirty years between the adventures of the
activist academic in his thirties and the dignified 58 year-old
public servant trying to make the most of one of the most
difficult jobs in the world. Consistency in public life is such a
rare trait. Not everyone has been able to transit from civil
society activism to holding public office creditably. Professor
Jega is a worthy example of a high performing activist and
high performing public servant; a role model in a society
desperately in need of role models. He is my Man of the Year.

Jega? I have my reservations on him

Bootybuttchic:
he has alwaya had a good reputation........i just wish he was a bit not so lenient...............he just let many rigging slip during that election,especially own.......thank God buhari won sha

Yes, we all knew him then. He gave hell to the military government of Babangida then as ASUU president and never compromised. He is the only northerner I can see with the integrity of PMB. If you are clean you are clean, no two ways about it and undebatable.

Tor! Shikena!

Beremx, thanks once again.

If he had (not to agree to your saying PMB's incompetent) seen Buhari's "incompetency" should he have skewed the results against him?
I do not think so

So sure the 86 behind ur moniker is definitely not your birth year cuz u spew trash like a kid... Grow up boy...

And what is 1986 in Nigerian politics? Senior? if it is by the year of birth only 1950s above can debate, 1960s can discuss, 1970s can question, 1980s...? I guess cheer. if you look at nairaland we have more cheerleaders. Your composure in the proceedings determines where you belong!
