reap. Whoever does good and has served truly well can be sure that
people will speakwell of him, sooner or later.

dc.description: This volume is a partial attempt to complete my memoir entitled Up And On: A Nigerian Teachers Odyssey which was published in 1990 and which covered most of my earlier life till I retired as a university' teacher in 1979. One of the major reasons for writing this book is to narrate my experience as a Federal Minister of Education, highlighting my successes, partial successes, failures and partial failures. It is hoped that this will provide an insight into the running of Government agencies with lessons to be learnt from my modest achievements and my mistakes.

dc.description: This volume attempts a broad survey of developments in the arts and culture during the seven years under review. These developments are examined in the context of institutional and policy changes that were made to facilitate the implementation of various programmes introduced as part of economic and political reforms. These reforms were formulated with the central objective of stimulating a more creative approach to national development. The economic ones sought to enhance the drive for self-reliance through more private initiatives and disengagement of the state from certain areas of economic activity. The political reforms were aimed at encouraging the emergence of a new value system capable of sustaining a durable democratic order envisaged for the Third Republic. These endeavors had profound implications for Nigeria's cultural life.

dc.description: This collection of selected speeches of the Prime Minister, Alhaji the Right Honourable Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa needs no introduction because it eloquently speaks for itself. It was felt that these speeches contain so much of the philosophy of Sir Abubakar as a politician, as a statesman and, above all, as a Nigerian, that it would be a great loss for the country, for Africa, and for the world at large, if they were not assembled together for easy
reference.

dc.description: In this collection of speeches, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, ‘President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, has carefully outlined his thoughts and dreams for the country. He assumed leadership of the world’s biggest b a country in the most unusual circumstances. His predecessor. Alhaji Uma Musa Yar’Adua, had suddenly fallen ill and travelled out for medical attention. There was a serious constitutional crisis following his inability to write a letter that would formally transfer power to his then Vice-President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.
However, as soon as the crisis was resolved with the proclamation of Dr. Jonathan as Acting President in January 2010, he assumed the leadership of our country with clear determination to succeed. Right from his first address to the nation, he began to reveal his thoughts on how Nigeria can become great among the comity of nations. He spoke about the urgency of addressing infrastructural needs so that the economy can be on sound footing. He also promised to pursue the amnesty programme for Niger Delta militants in the national interest.

dc.description: This publication is a comprehensive compilation of the stewardship of-General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces from August 27, 1985, to the end of the Transition Programme as it affects Plateau State under the various Military Governors. It is an attempt to document the achievements as well as the constraints of the Administration during the period under review.
It is however important to note that this publication was already in the press when some administrative changes were announced by the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Nigeria Armed Forces, General Ibrahim Babangida on the 27th of August 1991. It is therefore very necessary to briefly enumerate these changes as well as the recent administrative changes that took place in Plateau State on the 13th of September 1991
In response to public demand for more states, the President, General Ibrahim Babangida created nine more states on the 27th of August 1991. This creation necessitated the realignment of the boundaries of some states. Doma Local Government Council, which was formerly part of Plateau State, joined Benue State in the process. Two new Local Government councils were created out of the former Langtang south Local Government Councils. Following this new development, the former Langtang Executive and Legislative Councils were dissolved. Two Administrators were appointed for the two new councils pending when arrangements are made for fresh elections.

dc.description: This publication entitled Eminent Nigerians of the twentieth century is a focus on the lives and times of departed eminent persons of twentieth century Nigeria. It is produced for the same reason for which biographical works are usually written, namely, to inform, inspire and guide present and future generations by focusing on the lives and times of the past heroes and heroines; their roles, the noble causes and concerns they served, the difficulties and challenges they faced, their achievements, failures, courage, diligence, uprightness, honesty of purpose and the overall impact of their lives on their generation and posterity. In the course of serving the above purposes, this publication sheds considerable light on the various episodes in the historical course of events in twentieth century Nigeria, from the early days of the anti-colonial struggle to the granting of independence through dialogue and constructive engagement with the British colonial authorities; which was followed thereafter by a chain of crisis in. the new nation, the civil war, three decades of military dictatorship that increasingly came under strong opposition and popular resistance, particularly during the last decade of the century.

dc.description: Peace and security of life and property are primary conditions for the progress of society. All over the world, the principal agency established by governments to guarantee the internal peace and security of nations, and by implication their progress also, is the police. To this extent therefore, the standard of policing available to a country is a veritable indicator of its level of development. Consequently, it is axiomatic to observe that the developed economies of the modern world have highly efficient police organisations, while the police forces of Third World nations are reflective of their inferior social, economic and political status. Within this context also, the Nigeria Police is that very visible guardian of the social, economic and political interest of the nation, as measured by the prevailing climate of peace and security of lives and property throughout the length and breadth of Nigeria. Theirs is a constitutionally assigned responsibility that successive generations of policemen and women have tried to fulfill since the Force came into being, first, as a tool of colonial oppression and later as an expression of the corporate will of a free and independent country under, the control of the executive arm of government. Opinion may be widely divided on how well the Nigeria Police has executed its statutory mandate to maintain peace and protect law and order in the country. There can be no doubt or dispute however, that the perfect police cannot exist before the advent of the perfect society. Evidently, therefore, the challenge of law enforcement gets even more complex as society gets ever more sophisticated. As such, the Police in Nigeria must contend always with the various social, economic and political developments that take place in Nigeria and around the world. For example, the creation of new states and local governments had implications for law enforcement that were not always sufficiently addressed before these popular administrative policies were taken. In like manner, the benefits of technological developments such as mobile telephony and the World Wide Web are available to both the honest citizens and the criminal fraternity alike.

dc.description: Part of the notorious “Slave Coast” of West Africa, from the 16lh century to the Abolition of the Slave Trade in 1807, was a long coast-line which later comprised the Niger Delta. The inhuman trade in slaves featured largely in the ancient economy of the communities along the Bights of Benin and Biafra (later Bonny). Throughout this study, this is the territory I have simply called “The Bights”. Not many then saw that trans-Atlantic traffic in human beings, with sources in the hinterland and end-users in the Americas, in strict moral terms rather than profit. In that process, some city-states suffered immense socio-political dislocation through ill-understood demographic changes and their complex impacts. Some of the slaves brought from the hinterland got mixed up with the coastal communities while others ended up in the American parts of the New World. The Old World, particularly, the City-states of the coastal communities, dealt with serious matters arising. These weighty matters included the following. First, traffic in the hinterland had begun; but a vacuum there was not considered to be in the best interest of traders anxious for profits at any cost. An alternative and profitable product was long awaited for purposes of exchange along the coasts of “The Bights”. Second, in the cause of the Slave Trade, vested European interests had not only seen the strength and weakness of the coastal communities but were also anxious to explore and exploit of her resources there. Third, when the so-called “darkness” of the African continent was subsequently removed, through a concert of other forces, the first contact-points indicated by centuries of the Slave Trade became available as entry-points into the interior where once, slaves were the main products of attraction.
