Description: This book reflects Professor Aboyade's thoughts and concerns about the development process, the failure of that process in Nigeria over nearly three decades, his modest attempts to explain the failure of development in Nigeria in particular and in Africa in general, and his humble suggestions for resolving the paradox of underdevelopment in the midst of abundant natural and human resources. Many of the works contained in this book have not appeared in print and it is therefore an attempt to make the writings accessible to a wider audience.
