“As an accomplished and seasoned entrepreneur, Anekwe deserves essays on human and economic security to be dedicated to his giant strides in the development of the petroleum industry, the manufacturing and construction sectors of the economy,” he said.
In reviewing the book, Engr. Fola Jinadu and Dr. Augustine Akubo said the book explores the components of human and economic security as the panacea for peace and development of the society, by broadly adopting the broad security concept.
“This concept, they said, is increasingly viewed as an all-encompassing condition in which people and communities live in freedom, peace and safety, participate fully in the governance of their countries, enjoy the protection of fundamental rights, have access to resources and basic necessities of life and inhabit an environment which is not detrimental to their health and well-being,” Khalifa said.
