Professor Adamu Abubakar Gwarzo of the Maryam Abacha American University , Niger/Nigeria, MAAUN has applauded the Kaduna State Government's recent appointment of Professor Rajneesh Narula as a Consultant and Policy Adviser to the Planning and Budget Commission.
Prof. Gwarzo made the commendation in France, adding that the administration of Governor Nasiru El-Rufa'I should be commended for her foresight in the selection of an internationally acclaimed Professor with a versatile operational knowledge on Nigeria, Africa, and the modern global trend.
He expressed optimism that Prof. Narula will deliver the herculean task assigned to him by Governor El-RufaβI in view of his track record and experience.
Professor Gwarzo who doubles as the President General of the Association of African Private Universities (AAPU) also said the appointment of Prof. Rajneesh Narula as consultant and policy adviser to the Planning and Budget Commission to Kaduna State Government should be seen from the professional point of view and be emulated by other state governments, African countries and policymakers.
"Today, we live and operate in a progressively globalized environment. The technology, which permits near-instantaneous cooperation, exchanges, communications, marketing and trade from the global level, contributes to the shrinking of boundaries," Gwarzo stated!
The MAAUN founder also explained that most professionals today are influenced by foreign forces in some way and it is fundamental for governments, particularly in Africa, to understand the complexities and challenges of dealing with international partners. He said it is worth noting that socioeconomic considerations, culture and political systems have an impact on business trends and best practices adding that expertise with and knowledge of global issues is essential in the sectors of manufacturing, marketing, information technology, finance, etc.
Professor Gwarzo further explained that Prof. Rajneesh Narula's appointment is justified because of his accomplishments in many international organizations, including the European Union, the United Nations, and the World Bank, as well as the advisory services he provided to countries such as Senegal, Uganda, Tanzania, South Africa, India, Pakistan, China, Thailand, Vietnam, Russia, Qatar, UAE, and Bangladesh.
Professor Gwarzo then speaks on global trade, stating that there is no denying the fact that trade and industrialization today span numerous countries.
βAfrican countries, as well as many other developing nations throughout the world, must broaden their horizon, policy and implementation initiatives. The more foreign expert policymakers can bring to a state or country, the more a society's global reach may be expanded, thereby, working on global, cooperative initiatives and gaining international experience in terms of policy formation and ex*****on strategy as a remarkable opportunity to obtain international exposureβ.
Prof. Gwarzo identifies the necessity for states in Nigeria, as well as various African nations to intensify internationalization of development projects in order to get worldwide intellectual exposure.
According to the perceptive, Professor Gwarzo further postulates that this approach will foster relationships with leading industrial partners in major places across the globe who could provide emerging international investments and initiatives, and, as a result, will provide civil servants and other policymakers in our society with a level of expertise, knowledge, and purposeful international exposure.
