Item description from the seller

Dr Olu Fasan is a lawyer, political economist, academic and policy analyst. He is a Visiting Fellow at the London School of Economics and a Researcher with the International Growth Centre. An experienced academic and professional writer, with a Diploma in Creative Writing from Oxford University, Dr Fasan is a respected and widely-read columnist for two of Nigeria’s most reputable newspapers, Vanguard and BusinessDay.

‘Olu Fasan’s new book offers a readable, sweeping, if sobering, assessment of Nigeria’s political economy from its painful colonial origins to its torrid time as a post-independence state-in-the-making. Fasan is not a cheerleader for the Nigeria that is, but for the Nigeria that could be. In The National Interest offers serious solutions from constitutional overhaul to a complete rethink of Nigeria’s failed economic strategies of past and present.’ – David Pilling, Africa Editor, Financial Times.
‘Nigeria is called a “sleeping giant of Africa”: it should be a future Brazil or India. Dr Fasan’s book analyses Nigeria’s political, economic, and social challenges and offers ideas for unlocking its future potential. It’s about how the “sleeping giant” may be awakened.’ – Dr Alex Vines OBE, Director, Africa Programme, Chatham House and Associate Professor, Coventry University.
‘Thoughtful … A call for action to change course. From an analytic but fair and balanced commentary on historical evolution of politics, governance and development practices in Nigeria, Olu Fasan puts forward what can be called a Federalist agenda.’ Professor Pat Utomi, Lagos Business School.
