<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div>Dear AFRINIC Liaison and PDWG,</div><div dir="auto">Having looked at the candidates, it seems to me here that two candidates are above average but one candidate stands out clearly. Prof. Nasir Faruk has a technical background, First class degree and became a Professor of Telecommunications at the age of 37 (the Youngest Professor in Northern Nigeria). This is an incredible achievement. He was my lecturer and I would say conscientiously, that he is an outstanding lecturer. When it comes to intelligence he belongs to the best one percent (1%). He is better than other candidates with a business background. He is also the current Director of ICT, managing the entire ICT Unit of a University with more than 15,000 students. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">He has proven his intelligence in the past by winning the AFRINIC grant after which he was also awarded AFRINIC's fellowship. </div><div dir="auto">I have not spoken recently to him but I know he has participated in numerous AFRINIC, ICANN and meetings of other RIR's. He has won numerous awards in the past from outstanding lecturer, top outstanding telecommunication personality of the year, Unilorin Best Researcher of the year (with a brand new car to go with the award) to mention but a few. He has won more research grants than any other lecturer in Nigerian University and leads a research group with the largest database of spectrum occupancy measurements in Africa. He is an outstanding researcher with over 100 publications in reputable journals and conferences around the world.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">For me, he stands out clearly and I am sure he would bring his wealth of experience to bear and also live above board because<b> he has a lot to lose if he does otherwise</b>. This position, I believe, would just be another subsection in his already loaded Curriculum Vitae.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div>AFRINIC deserves the best hands, and Professor Nasir Faruk will definitely steer the course of the PDWG in the right direction for the betterment of all.</div><div>Thank you!</div><div><br></div>--Best regards,<br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><b>Emem E.
