Prof. Kingsley Moghalu, the Presidential Candidate of the Young Progressives Party says he will unfold his “Constitutional Restructuring’’ agenda on October 29, in a lecture to be delivered at the University of Nigeria Nsukka.
The lecture entitled: “How to Restructure Nigeria: A Vision of the Shape of Things to Come”, is organised by the Nigerian Political Science Association to mark its 6th Annual Conference scheduled to hold at the Nsukka Campus of UNN on Monday.
Moghalu, a former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria told the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos on Saturday that he would use the opportunity to sketch a clear vision of why, how, what and when of his constitutional restructuring agenda for Nigeria.
He said: “Restructuring has become a popular buzzword for the 2019 elections but few politicians have spelt out in clear terms what they understand or mean by the term.
“I did so in my most recent book “Build, Innovate and Grow: My Vision for Our Country.
“BIG, which has a Foreword written by Muhammadu Sanusi II, the Emir of Kano and former Governor of the CBN, was launched in Lagos in February.
“The book sets out my vision for leadership and governance, nation-building, economic transformation and foreign policy for Nigeria.
“In the book, I argued strongly in favour of constitutional restructuring to restore Nigeria to true federalism.’’
Moghalu previously served as a UN official for 17 years in nation-building, risk management and strategic planning roles in New York, Cambodia, Croatia, Tanzania and Switzerland.
He was appointed deputy governor of the CBN from 2009 to 2014.
He worked as a Professor of International Business and Economic Policy at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University in Massachusetts, US from 2015 to 2017.
