Is this however the case in Nigeria? This is a poser which Dr. Omano Edigheji unravelled in his newly presented 197-page book titled, “Nigeria Democracy Without Development: How to fix it” published by A’lime Media Limited. The author who is a renowned political economist, development practitioner and governance expert is concerned that democracy has only survived for over two decades without commensurate developmental trajectory. “This book makes a worthy argument for a democracy of purpose. It is a timely call for democracy to propel institutions and measures that substantially improve the lives of citizens, develop the economy and improve the processes for selecting and electing leaders,” said Mallam Nasir El-Rufai in praising the book.
