I look forward to the day Nigeria rewards merit- Kaycee Madu
Nigerian-born legal practitioner, Kaycee Madu, who was recently appointed minister of justice and solicitor-general of Alberta in Canada, has ridden on the back of his recent political fortune to challenge the reward system in Nigeria, and Africa by extension.
Madu recently became the first African in the North American country to be appointed minister of justice in the Canadian province having previously served as minister for municipal affairs.
The Nigerian-born lawyer on Sunday evening, took to his twitter handle where he thanked Nigerians who celebrated his appointment.
“Thank you for all the support and prayers coming from Nigeria and Nigerians in the diaspora,” Madu said.
“I look forward to the day when Nigeria and Africa become places where hard work and merit are rewarded. Chukwu Gozie!”

Madu obtained his LL.B from the University of Lagos in the early 2000s before migrating to Canada with his wife, where they have both been practising.
In a statement signed by Femi Adesina, presidential spokesperson, President Muhammadu Buhari congratulated Madu on his achievement.
The president described Madu’s achievement as confirmation of the intrinsic value in Nigerians to ascend to the highest levels in different fields of human endeavour.
