Item description from the seller

Writing about Obasanjo years compels rather more than the Presidential Legacy. These two volumes focus on what he found on the table as he came in as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in1999 and what he left on that table in 2007. They capture the essence of his 8-year administration. Mandelaâ€™s forward speaks of an African leader with outstanding qualities of sustained commitment, genuine Africa-ness and exemplary performance and the preface, of a man who has knit for himself a sizeable strand in the metaphoric tapestry of corpus Nigeria. This Socio-political scan converse a wide spectrum of activities in governance, infrastructure, the social service, crisis in transparency, oil, finance, communication, security, international affair, power in megawatts and in judicial tongue. These essays that flow the scholar, diplomat, entrepreneur, bureaucrat, solder and cleric, constitute a quasi-historical document and dispassionately appraise the tenor of Obasanjoâ€™s tenure as President. Historians, archivists, social scientists, politicians and the civil society will find it valuable in chronicling the events that period. It is a welcome development in public affairs of a compendium of activities that help the citizen to determine whether the currency of leadership is in gold or garbage. It blazes a trail and serves as a forerunner of an exercise in stewardship that future political leaders in Africa and beyond may wish to emulate.
