Permit me to congratulate Dr Abdur-rashid Sani Gimi (PhD) Political Science; M.sc Political Science and B.sc Political Science of Department of Political Science, International Relations and Diplomacy, Kaduna State University, Kaduna for his successful PhD External Defence in the Department of Political Science, Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria.
Dr Gimi completed his programme on record time of three years. What a great feat, the scholar! He is an embodiment of hard -work, diligence, commitment, dedication, discipline, doggedness and seriousness. The scholar! I enjoy you to be humble my dear Dr. True knowledge makes one humble indeed. May the Almighty Allah guide and guard you.
Dr Gimi “specializes” in “political communication” which is an area dearly needed in our society. Dr Gimi has added to the “bunch” of scholars/experts in the field of Political Science of the Department of Political Science, International Relations and Diplomacy of Kaduna State University.
The Department has been growing steadily from “strength” to “strength”. The Department has experts in different areas of socialization in the field of political science ranging from international relations and diplomacy, African politics, political economy, political thought, public policy, political sociology, political economy, Nigerian government and politics, and security and strategist studies.
The Department began undergraduates program in 2005 with 38 students and with just three (3) Residents Academic Staff. It is now fully accredited with both Undergraduates and Postgraduates courses, such as: B.sc Political science, B.sc International relations, Msc Political Science, MCPSS: Master’s in Conflict Peace and Strategic Studies and PGDCPSS: Post Graduate Diploma in Conflict Peace and Strategic Studies and Phd programme.
In my Judgement, the Department has the Human Resources eminently qualified to compete with its peers anywhere in the world. With the eminently qualified Professors in the Department as well as the very many hard-working PhDs holders in the Department it can favourable compete with its peers anywhere in the world.
