His Excellency Ambassador Dr. Duru Hezekiah, the Ambassador at Large and Head of Diplomatic Mission for the International Human Rights Commission IHRC in Nigeria, was appointed into office in September 2022 by the IHRC Secretary-General Prof. h.c. Rafal Marcin Wasik.
The Department of Media and Strategic Communications for IHRC Nigeria headed by Fidelis Onakpoma, averred that H.E. Ambassador Dr. Duru Hezekiah’s acknowledgment note contained in a Monograph of his one-year antecedents as the Ambassador at Large and Head of Diplomatic Mission for the International Human Rights Commission IHRC in Nigeria are inspirational, captivating with compelling narratives that transcend into a workable force.
His impressive professional journey stands as a testament to leadership and influence in shaping regional policies and implementing sustainable development initiatives, thus, his acknowledgment further explores the four core principles of diplomacy: negotiation, communication, building relationships, and promoting interests.
These principles serve as the foundation for effective diplomatic interactions, facilitating peaceful resolution of conflicts and promoting international cooperation, while inspiring and motivating a team spirit.
The Acknowledgement says “I give all the glory to God for His strength, wisdom, and inspiration. This Monograph Series No.1 entails my one-year term antecedents in office as the Ambassador at Large and Head of the Diplomatic Mission of the International Human Rights Commission IHRC in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. A full list of acknowledgments will prove to be too extensive. However, I must constrain myself with the bare minimum.

Guided by his watchword, “Because what we do today, we do for Generations”, Prof Rafal Marcin Wasik’s resplendent passion for human development radiates brilliantly, illuminating the path for transformative change and championing the rights and opportunities of humans throughout the world.
My profound appreciation goes to my Predecessor H.E. Ambassador Dr. Friday Sani whose commitment to this noble cause has been steadfastly evident, enriching the discourse on these matters.
