Kingsley Moghalu, former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and renowned public policy expert, has announced his resignation as President and Vice-Chancellor of the African School of Governance (ASG), a graduate-level institution dedicated to leadership and governance training across Africa.
In a series of posts on X on Tuesday, Moghalu described his tenure as a “historic assignment,” noting that he successfully guided the ASG through its early stages and key developmental milestones over the past nine months.
“I am proud of the remarkable progress we have achieved,” he stated.
Moghalu did not disclose specific reasons for his departure but emphasized the institution’s advancements under his leadership.
The ASG, aimed at fostering transformative governance in Africa, continues to position itself as a pivotal center for leadership training on the continent.
He wrote, “After several months of toiling in the vineyard of a historic assignment, I will be departing from my role as President & Vice-Chancellor @ASG_Africa, a new graduate-level university established to drive improvements in governance in Africa by current and future leaders.
“Starting from nothing but the vision of its founders, the ASG under my leadership achieved much in a record 9 months since my appointment as its President: working with a world-class executive management team, we have established ASG operationally as a pan-African institution.”
He pointed out several other accomplishments, including the recruitment of the inaugural student cohort for a Master of Public Administration (MPA) programme scheduled to begin in September, and the successful conclusion of the ASG President’s Africa Tour, which covered six countries across four sub-regions.
The tour featured over 60 meetings with senior government officials, private sector leaders, academics, and civil society stakeholders.
Moghalu also noted the success of ASG’s first executive education programme, Transforming Countries: Becoming the Leader Your Country Needs, which was held from July 8–10 and convened 20 high-level participants from 15 African countries.
Despite these achievements, Moghalu cited concerns over institutional structure and autonomy as key reasons for his departure.
“However, there have been challenges regarding corporate governance, and institutional and academic independence,” he disclosed.
“These remain indispensable requirements for the institution to ultimately succeed.”
He concluded his announcement with best wishes for the university’s future, stating, “I wish ASG continued success.”
Moghalu’s exit raises questions about the internal dynamics at ASG Africa, even as the institution continues its efforts to position itself as a leading hub for governance education on the continent. There has been no official statement yet from ASG regarding his departure.
