Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah is a transcendental and magnetic person who is a paragon of excellence, striving to improve himself and inspire others to excel and to give muscular expression to their God-given talents. He has authored cerebral articles and homilies which address the Nigerian, and by extrapolation, the human condition, and has published books such as Democracy And Civil Society in Nigeria, Witness To Justice: An Insider's Account Of Nigeria's Truth Commission, Whistling In The Dark, and Religion, Politics and Power in Northern Nigeria. He has had a Fellowship at Oxford University and a Senior Fellowship at Harvard University, and has been insistent against injustice, impunity and misrule. He has also deployed his immense goodwill to the service of humanity and democracy. Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah is a statesman, a humanist, an intellectual and a moral lodestar who has helped to pacify the country in 2015 and established the National Peace Committee (NPC). He has also continued to call attention to the failings of governments, particularly the President Muhammadu administration, which has failed to deliver good governance and secure the lives of Nigerians.
