To meet the expectations of the majority of our people, and to open up new vistas of economic opportunity so that the aspirations of Nigerians can stand a fair chance of being fulfilled in a lifetime, there must be a truly committed leadership in a democratic Nigeria.

The work of Nigeria is not complete for as long as there is any one Nigerian who goes to bed on empty stomach.

I am not sure that you, the younger generations, will like to go to war that we went through. So, we learn as the mistakes are being committed.

Debate and divergence of views can only enrich our history and culture.

At the same, we need to remain sensitive to the reality that we are still an African society in which the majority of the people and communities live under severe deprivations and afflictions that are no fault of theirs.

There are no doubts that, the situation in the country today, indicates that there is much more work to do in the process of reforming the political economy and improving the quality of life of our people and communities.

It is only through books that we partake of the great harvest that is human civilization across the ages.
