In this book, Tunji Olaopa fills a critical gap in public administration history in Nigeria with the
\ninsertion of a personal narrative in the formal historical trajectory of public administration and
\npublic service. Personal narratives-biographies, autobiographies and memoirs serve a significant
\npurpose in enlivening and humanizing the role that public administration and administrators play
\nin the transformation of the discourse and practice of making Nigeria a better country. In this
\nmemoir, Olaopa ties his personal and professional maturation together into a seamless story of a
\nyoung Abwa boy making it to the Presidency in Abuja, and building a governance and institutional
\nreform portfolio and philosophy that speak to the yearning of a professional and patriot intent on
\ntransforming the policy architecture and institutional structuration of the Nigerian state. This
\nmemoir, therefore, has an intergenerational objective it is the past speaking to the future about
\nwhy Nigeria must be great.<\/p>\n
