Veritas: The Tale of a Sleeping Giant (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781717919359)

In these days of political imbalance, there is a need for leadership that can bring everyone on the path of development. With his latest book, Rufai Oseni seeks to provide that direction in these very uncertain times of our national life. Rufai narrates the story of Nigeria paying particular attention to historical antecedence, constantly searching and pondering on the reasons behind the developmental problems that have plagued the country. Chapter after chapter, he argues that Nigeria's political dynamics have been inundated by religious and ethnic sentiments. Other militating factors against national development have included corruption and its sundry effect on the economy. He shows how the culture of waste and continuous plunder is at the root of Nigeria's economic comatose. In conclusion, Rufai draws careful contrasts between Nigeria and Singapore-her twin in terms of nascent developmental challenges-and highlights lucid lessons from the Singapore story. The book is a clarion call for national development, a call for the review of Nigeria's constitution and for the establishment of the rule of law-basic ingredients for building a lasting democracy in Nigeria.
