Isa Ali Ibrahim (Listenⓘ) popularly known as Isa Ali Pantami, is a Nigerian politician and Islamic cleric, who was minister of Communications and Digital Economy from 2019 to 2023. He also was director general of the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) of Nigeria from 26 September 2016 to 20 August 2019, before he was nominated as minister and sworn into office on 21 August 2019.[1][2][3]
Pantami is among seven readers (associate professors) promoted to Professor by the Governing Council of Federal University of Technology Owerri (FUTO) at its 186th meeting held on Friday, 20 August 2021.[4][5][6][7] However, this promotion continues to generate controversy, and has been strongly questioned by some intellectuals on allegations that it did not follow the extant due process in professorship appointments in Nigeria academia. During all this controversial, no word was heard from Pantami.[8][9]
