Publisher's Synopsis
Nigeria has been in the news for worsening economic fortunes in recent times. Many are at a loss about what could be responsible considering the many resources and potential for greatness the country has.
This is a book about the many challenges the country face in the hands of those who see the country only as a pouching field. It tells of the many components and players that have seized the levers of power in every sector but have failed to build a sustainable system and country for the present or for the future. Many policies, systems, and institutions that fall short of their purposes are revealed and their ailments diagnosed. What can be done differently seems obvious but the fortune hunters who have captured the state make it difficult, and in some cases impossible for any meaningful progress to be made. The book reveals the modus of operation of most of the fortune hunters in Nigeria's political system; an insight that can help not just Nigeria but other countries do much better.
