The Chairman of Policy Think-tank, Independent Media and Policy Initiative, (IMPI) Chief Niyi Akinsiju, has been conferred with the Doctor of Philosophy, PhD academic award of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.
This was disclosed in a congratulatory statement signed by the Vice Chairman of the policy think-tank, Mallam Danjuma Mohammad.
The statement reads in part: “The IMPI notes that Chief Akinsiju was conferred with a Doctorate Degree in Development Communication after about five years of rigorous course work, examination, and a tedious defense of his thesis by a team of the University’s internal examiners and external examiner.
“Since IMPI’s formation, its chairman Chief Akinsiju has displayed a studious desire to excel in academics, even as he continuously led the charge in critically evaluating national policies and programmes.
“On his watch, IMPI has issued 16 policy advisories on sundry national issues that have added fresh perspectives to public discourse.
“We pray that God Almighty will continue to grant him the strength and wisdom to lead IMPI to greatness.”
