For many, Bishop Mathew Hassan Kukah combines the attributes of scholarship and pastoral calling, making him a man of wit and courage, the ideal philosopher priest.

Kukah is an orator, a writer, a communicator who has the rare ability to be understood by the knowledgeable and the ill-informed, the laity and the priest, the teacher and the learner.

He speaks bluntly, and frankly. That has earned him many friends, and foes alike. But one thing even his critics seemed to concede about the Bishop is that he cannot be ignored.

Kukah was born on August 31, 1952, in Anchuna, a village in the Southern Kaduna area of Kaduna state.
