The Executive Director, African Governance and Leadership Initiative Chris Kehinde Nwandu has graduated with a Bachelor of Law Degree from prestigious Leadcity University Ibadan.
CKN as he is popularly known is also the Editor in Chief of one of Nigeria’s foremost online news platform CKN NEWS.
He made this known on his verified social media handle on Thursday after the official “signing out” ceremony.
He wrote thus:
LLLB IN THE BAG …TO GOD BE THE GLORY. It started like a dream, to a wish and finally a reality.
Today, I finally dropped my pen as a law student. It seemed like an impossible journey when I started. Various obstacles on the way. Sleepless nights of reading, dangerous road movements, etc.
But I didn’t take my eyes off the ball. To God be the glory, the end justifies the means. To those who made this happen, especially my family led by my wife (who insisted it was time for me to get this done, and encouraged me not to give up, when atimes frustrations set in) I say a big thank you.
To my friends within and outside the country, God bless you. To my lecturers, management staff and students of LEADCITY UNIVERSITY IBADAN, you deserve my thanks. Not a time for so much speech, at the fullness of time, the story will be told.”
CKN said that his long term ambition has been to read law.
According to him, reading law even at the age of 55 years has enhanced his world view and certain things he had taken for granted in the past.
He obtained his first degree from Lagos State University (LASU)in 1990 and holds a Post Graduate Diploma in Journalism from Nigerian Institute of Journalism (NIJ) Lagos.
He is a member of several professional Associations such as NIPR, APCON, Institute of Chartered Mediators and Concilators, Institute of Information Management, Guild of Professional Bloggers of Nigeria, a Fellow of the Institute of Personality Development and Customer Relationship Management and a host of others.
