The first Nigerian Professor of Cybersecurity and best ever & former Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, @ProfIsaPantami, CON, is challenging the critics of his recently authored books to come forward for a public intellectual debate on the concerns they have about the books.
“Among the 5 books authored by @ProfIsaPantami in the last 2 years, #SkillsRatherThanJustDegrees has been the most popular and impactful by far. The book is now being translated to other international languages as requested by the natives of these languages). Praises and thanks are due to the Almighty.” Pantami said
“However, a few academics (among our brothers, friends & colleagues) intend to distort the actual message of the book on social media, instead of writing their books to counter or ridiclue the global paradigm shift advocated by the book. Some indirectly criticise without reading the book and, ironically, also go ahead and make recommendations the same with the advocacy of the book.
As a result, all the academics (our colleagues) who have challenged the book are invited (to nominate the best 3 among them) for an intellectual debate on any campus (University) in Nigeria (of their choice, not for the author to choose) to either challenge the author of the book or defend their arguments before a neutral audience.” He added
Before you think of accepting this challenge remember Pantami debated with former Boko Haram Leader, Abu Muhammad bn Muhammad Asshakawy aka Shekau about the legality of Boko Haram ideology in Islam and defeated him handsdown.
