Better Ways to Achieve Good Governance in Nigeria: : A Critical Look at Governance in Nigeria - Paperback

by Dike Obih (Foreword by), Christian C. Onwudiwe (Author)

NIGERIA, AFRICA'S MOST POPULOUS NATION, OFFERS AS MANY opportunities as challenges. She is a regional power house. She has a dynamic political system, a robust economy, a thriving workforce, and of course natural resources, of which, oil is a primary resource. However, despite these, she is dogged by the age old problems of wastage, poor management, graft and corruption. This results in tens of millions of its citizens living below or just on the poverty line. Even though a major OPEC producer, she can barely provide steady electricity throughout the country. Dr. Christian Onwudiwe does more than ask the hard questions. He digs deep and traces the root of these problems, analyzes them objectively, like the expert he is, and most importantly offers suggestions on the way forward for Nigeria.
