This monumental biographical work has captured so well the life, work, and success of Chief (Dr.) Clement Nyong Isong (CFR) husband, father, grandfather, mentor, banker, community leader, and statesman. It is a book that will bring front to centre, the strength of character and discipline of a humble man who persevered against all odds, and stuck to his beliefs and values, leaving behind a legacy of integrity and dignity in public service in Nigeria, and his portrait on the Nigerian currency.
