It said his communication efforts had contributed to public understanding of reforms in areas including the economy, infrastructure, food security, social investment, national security and investment promotion.
The APC also highlighted Morka’s nearly four decades of experience in law, human rights advocacy, public policy, urban governance and democratic consolidation.
The party noted that Morka is the founder and Executive Director of the Social and Economic Rights Action Center (SERAC), and a former Legal Officer for Africa of the International Human Rights Law Group in Washington, DC, as well as former Legal Director of the Civil Liberties Organisation (CLO).
It further cited his engagements with international institutions, including the United Nations, UNAIDS, World Bank and African Union, and his LL.M degree from Harvard Law School.
Morka’s contributions to nation-building, democracy and the rule of law were also recognised in 2025 when President Tinubu conferred on him the national honour of Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON).
