Dr. Nwankwo Tony Nwaezeigwe is a radical Africanist scholar, Civil Rights Activist, and Political Affairs Analyst.
He holds parallel appointments at the Institute of African Studies, and Department of History and International Studies, University of Nigeria, Nsukka.
He is currently the Director, Nigerian Civil War & Genocide Research Network.
Formerly Director, Centre for Igbo Studies, University of Nigeria, Nsukka and, President, Igbo People’s Congress (IPC), he is currently in exile as a result of Anti-Isalamization Legal Action he filed against the present Federal Government in 2016 in which he exposed the plan for the current state of political precipitate.
He holds a PhD in International History and Diplomacy, specializing in Black Africa-Arab Relations, and Ethno-Religious Conflicts.
He has in his intellectual kitty more than seventy publications spanning over academic research and public affairs, including a legion of Television appearances on national and international issues.
Indeed, it is striking to note that it was during one of his interviews at the AIT Kaakaki morning programme over the OPC assault on Hausa-Fulani residents of Lagos State at Mile 12, Lagos, that the Taraba State-born ace Journalist and Kaakaki anchor, Mr. Jika Attoh ended his career in AIT, after the Nigeria Police invaded the AIT at Alagbado, Lagos and assaulted and subsequently arrested him.
