The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists has been shortlisted for a prestigious global sustainability award that seeks to highlight the world’s top anti-corruption champions.
The WIN WIN Gothenburg Sustainability Award chose to focus on individuals and organizations working to combat corruption around the world for its 2021 prize.
ICIJ has been listed as one of five finalists for the honor, alongside Icelandic whistleblower Jóhannes Stefánsson, nonprofit Integrity Watch Afghanistan, lead prosecutor in Italy’s largest anti-mafia trial Nicola Gratteri and Nigerian anti-corruption activist Hamzat Lawal. The finalists were drawn from a pool of dozens of nominations.
Kingsley Moghalu is eminently qualified to be president, writes Osondu Ahirika
One of the buzzwords of the American Presidential sweepstakes is the notion of identifying and electing a man or woman who is prepared to lead the greatest nation ever known on the planet from day one. This is primarily where my beloved fatherland, Nigeria, has got it wrong all the time.
I dare say, without fear of contradiction, that this is the reason we suffer the patently sustained leadership deficit the nation has endured since her independence. And this has grave consequences that we continue to aggravate.
As we engage in the ultimate search for Nigeria’s next President come 2023, we should, as a people, settle for a paradigm shift and get it right. Sadly, we’re not primed for that, if the pedestrian musings of our Labour Minister, and former Governor of Anambra State, Dr Chris Ngige is the template for our leadership recruitment proceedings.

Like the setting sun, the year 2020 is glowering red to its retirement. But only after wreaking havoc galore and leaving tears in its wake, thanks to the novel coronavirus pandemic that has left the world bleeding.
The virus did not discriminate as it snuffed out the lives of presidents and prime ministers. Some leaders, however, died of other causes.
One of the first Covid-19 victims, on March 30, was Jacques Yombi Opango, who served as prime minister of the Republic of Congo (Congo Brazzaville) between 1977 and 1979.
