Bridging the Gap
Memoirs of Nigeria's Former Minister of Works
Introduction to My Heritage and Background
In the following chapters of this book, it is my goal to explain to the reader how my history and lineage has directly impacted my goals and success in life. It is through the rich background of my ancestors that I was given the many gifts and blessings that have enabled me to make my mark on the world.
Migration and Cultural Roots
Through the migration by my ancestors from Egypt to the plains of the Niger and Benue Rivers, and the subsequent establishment of Uhe land and later Esan land, I was born with a passion and love for my country of Nigeria, Esan nation and my hometown of Uromi.
Heritage and Personal Qualities
The innate qualities of economics, religion and politics have been instilled in me by my heritage and have led me to a life of public service, dedication to my country, to my family and most importantly, to God.
Professional Dedication
As an architect, I have dedicated my life to the betterment of my beloved country. As a public official, I have served many administrations in the advancement of Nigeria's infrastructure and economy, as well as the improvement of regional infrastructure and economy in the West African region, under the aegis of Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
Heritage as a Foundation
My rich heritage was the foundation that has led me down this path which I hope will carry on to future generations.
