A short Eulogy to Ahmed Joda, OFR, CON
By Ernest .C. Ndukwe
Friday afternoon around 2pm, a distinguished patriot, departed this mortal world to the great beyond at the age of 91years. Ahmed Joda or Baba, as we all fondly called him, was a great, fair minded, energetic, detribalised, disciplined, humane, urbane and intellectually astute Nigerian.

It was a privilege and a pleasure to have worked with him as chairman of the board of the Nigerian Communications Commission when I served as EVC/CEO for 10 years. He was very professional in chairing meetings and never allowed emotions to becloud his judgment.
He was a man of great intellect and integrity which earned him the respect of the board, management and staff of the Commission.
I join all his family, friends and associates to celebrate this colossus and there’s no doubt that he will be sorely missed. May his noble and illustrious soul Rest In Peace.
