About the Book
The Will to Win: The Story of Biodun Shobanjo

It is as much a biographical portrait of Nigeria’s Czar of Advertising as it is a story of the major developments in the world of marketing communication in Nigeria as it involves Shobanjo. It sheds light on his persona and gives a comprehensive overview of who he is.

Obasanjo Might Be Right, But…
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo speaks with the magisterial arrogance of an oracle. Many Nigerians are likely to agree with this assertion. The only person of consequence that he has not spoken against is himself. Again, few will disagree because the retired General casts himself in…
NESG: From High-tables to Work-tables
It used to be the case that the Nigerian economy stood on an intellectual tripod that comprised the academia, the civil service and the private sector. All three legs did not, strictly speaking, work in tandem towards achieving a common goal. Whilst the professors theorised…
