The police boss affirmed that Chukwuma was not an arm chair social critic of the Nigeria Police, but a change agent who deployed his expansive network, resources and intellectual assets towards advocating and advancing the goals of Police reform in the country; and his dogged fights for having good governance in Nigeria, even as the Regional Director (West Africa) of the Ford Foundation.
