Renowned political economist, governance expert and current Special Adviser on Research and Documentation to Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State, Dr. Omano Edigheji has concluded arrangements to present his fourth academic book; Nigeria: Democracy without Development. How to fix it.
The author told newsmen in Lagos that the book was borne out of his desire to proffer practical solutions on how the deficiencies of electoral politics in Nigeria can be overcome; and suggest how Nigeria can promote inclusive and sustainable development.
Published by A’Lime Media Limited, the book provides the reader with an incisive account of the factors that explain the development deficits – rising poverty, inequality, unemployment, and the general deteriorating conditions of Nigerians – of democracy in Nigeria.
The book launch will be attended by a cross-section of political, traditional, religious and business leaders, as well as leading experts in academia and civil society organisations.
