How to Fix Nigeria
Author: Uche NwakuduPublisher: Author House
ISBN: 1463406908
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
Fixing Nigeria is a daunting proposition that will take spirited effort, require heavy lifting, and take some time to accomplish, but it is doable. Fixing Nigeria is possible because every single Nigerian knows that Nigeria is in a sorry state of systemic, structural, socio-political and economic disrepair and every single Nigerian agrees that Nigeria needs fixing. The only thing that has been lacking is a clear and realistic way of going about it. The book is Nigeria unraveled! It succinctly articulates the cogent problems with Nigeria and proffers well reasoned, salient and practical ways about how the country can be reformed and made to work for all of its citizens. Here, for every Nigerian who has dreamed of a country that they could truly be proud of and for every person who has hoped for a bright new day in Nigeria where dreams are possible and aspirations are fulfilled, are the most sensible, most realistic, most practical, and most realizable solutions to Nigerias problems ever proposed!
Reforming the Unreformable
Author: Ngozi Okonjo-IwealaPublisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262526875
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
A report on development economics in action, by a crucial player in Nigeria's recent reforms. Corrupt, mismanaged, and seemingly hopeless: that's how the international community viewed Nigeria in the early 2000s. Then Nigeria implemented a sweeping set of economic and political changes and began to reform the unreformable. This book tells the story of how a dedicated and politically committed team of reformers set out to fix a series of broken institutions, and in the process repositioned Nigeria's economy in ways that helped create a more diversified springboard for steadier long-term growth. The author, Harvard- and MIT-trained economist Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, currently Nigeria's Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance and formerly Managing Director of the World Bank, played a crucial part in her country's economic reforms. In Nigeria's Debt Management Office, and later as Minister of Finance, she spearheaded negotiations with the Paris Club that led to the wiping out of $30 billion of Nigeria's external debt, 60 percent of which was outright cancellation. Reforming the Unreformable offers an insider's view of those debt negotiations; it also details the fight against corruption and the struggle to implement a series of macroeconomic and structural reforms. This story of development economics in action, written from the front lines of economic reform in Africa, offers a unique perspective on the complex and uncertain global economic environment.

The Challenges of Conflict Resolution in Africa
Author: Rose Ngomba-RothPublisher: LIT Verlag Münster
ISBN: 3825816427
Category : Africa
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
The Cameroon-Nigerian border conflict over the Bakassi peninsula is a result of colonial negligence. Local interests and boundaries were disregarded when colonial powers were partitioning Africa. The Bakassi Peninsula's richness in natural resources (oil, gas and fish) is the main reason why Cameroon and Nigeria are at loggerheads over the region. Attempts at solving this conflict have failed and even the ICJ ruling does not stand a better chance of settling this dispute if the interests of the local population are not considered.
