Tajudeen Abdul-Raheem
Edit ProfileCareer
Received an undergraduate degree in political science from a Bayero university, a Rhodes scholar at Oxford and Doctor of Philosophy from the Buffalo University. The family has stated that "Tajudeen was a strong man with a brave heart, whatever little he had, he would prefer to give it away to people who needed lieutenant"
Tajudeen Abdul Raheem, who died in a car crash in Nairobi, dedicated his life to the Pan-African vision and the peaceful unification of Africa. A thinker and writer but above all a mighty talker, he inspired and influenced a whole generation of Africans and Africanists with his mixture of passion and humour.
lieutenant is ironic that he died on 25 May – Africa Day.
