PRESS
RELEASE
CISLAC,
CDD mourn Prof. Abubakar Momoh 
The
Board of Trustees, Members of the Advisory Council and staff
of Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre (CISLAC) and
Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD) wish to
commiserate with Nigerians on the death of an erudite
scholar, a selfless personality and brilliant political
scientist, Prof. Abubakar Momoh, who was a Member of our
Advisory Council and Director-General of the Electoral
Institute until his death.
While
we condole with the family, friends, academic world and the
entire country on the loss, we do not only recall and
commend the memorable and outstanding technical supports we
enjoyed from the deceased, but also recount his laudable
contributions to humanity, academic world and nation's
democracy through persistent advocacy and public outcry for
social justice and good governance.
As
a founding member of CISLAC, Centre for Democracy and
Development (CDD), and other Civil Society Organisations,
Prof. Momoh had excelled by voluntarily offering holistic
and tremendous supports for the establishment and sustenance
of the Centres. He largely contributed to their present
tracked records in advocacy for transparency, accountability
and good governance within and outside Nigeria.
Serving
as Director-General of the Electoral Institute of
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), he was at
the forefront advocating for free, fair, credible and
participatory electoral system through research, capacity
building for the staff of the Commission, and engagement of
vigorous voter education activities. 
Also,
as the Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences at the Lagos
State University, LASU and member of Executive of the
Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Prof. Momoh was
prominent for his doggedness in maintaining high level
integrity and professionalism, and selfless defence of staff
and students' welfares, as well as strictly adherence to
ethical standard on addressing issues that affected staff
and students.
Apart
from serving as a member of several technical teams of the
African Union Commission (AUC) and election observer to
several African countries on behalf of ECOWAS and African
Union, Prof. Momoh had served on several government
technical committees including being member and coordinator
of "Foreign Policy" Subcommittee of Federal Republic of
Nigeria "Vision 20:20" Technical Committee; and policy
on "Peace Support Operations (PSOS) for the Federal
Government.
CISLAC
and CDD are presently consulting the immediate family of the
deceased and will announce a public event in honour of the
great scholar.
