Moghalu
The
presidential aspirant of the Young Progressive Party (YPP) and former
deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Professor
Kingsley Moghalu has been invited to chair a public reading of his
book titled ‘Build, Innovate and Grow (BIG): My Vision for Our
Country’, at the Ibadan School Government and Public Policy (ISGPP)
on Wednesday, 15th of August 2018 from 11am.
The ISGPP, which is chaired by Professor Akin Mabogunje, is an independent think tank devoted to research and training on issues of public policy in Africa. It aims to transform public bureaucracies and political arrangements to make public policy work better than they currently do for inclusive development and democracy in Africa.
Professor Mabogunje, who is referred to as the ‘Father of Geography’ and one of the ‘Fathers of Social Sciences’, started his professional career as a lecturer at the University of Ibadan in 1958, became a senior lecturer in 1964 and a professor of Geography in 1965. He was the editor of the Nigerian Geographical Journal (1962-65); editor, Oxford University Press series on studies on Development of African Resources; President of the Nigerian Geographical Association (1972-82); Vice-President, Nigerian Ecological Society (1973-79); President of the National Council of Population Activities (1986-1992); and Executive Chairman of the Development Policy Centre, Ibadan (1996-2000).
The book ‘BIG: My Vision for Our Country’, which officially launched on February 26, 2018 and has been described as an inspired masterpiece on strategic policy and political transformation, outlines Moghalu’s plans for a better Nigeria by dissecting each sector, stating the problems with the sector and giving the solutions required for these sectors to actually move forward.
