President Muhammadu Buhari joins the academia, in Nigeria and all over the world, in condoling with the family of Prof. Chukwuma C.C. Osakwe, a renowned scholar on military history, whose contributions to research and educational development will be sorely missed.
In a statement by his Spokeaman, Garba Shehu, President Buhari said the nation has lost an asset and intellectual giant, with the passing of the former Head of Department of History and War Studies of the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), and Head of Centre for the Study of Leadership and Complex Military Operations.
President Buhari extols the scholar for always putting Nigeria first in his priorities, and working very hard to provide fresh insights into the possibilities of a more coordinated and synergized military structure and operation, that will herald a peaceful and harmonious society, turning down many offers, in Nigeria and abroad, to remain in the academia.
The President prays that the Almighty God will accept the soul of the departed, and comfort his loved ones.
