This collection of writings and speeches seeks to promote public discourse on the key public policy issues Nigeria confronts. Volume 1 covers the view from the outside, his newspaper columns as a private citizen analysing the policy choices made by leaders in addressing the challenges of governance. Volume 2 shows the thoughts of an insider, reflected in the speeches he has delivered as Governor of Kaduna State, taking responsibility for many of the issues on which he had previously commented on how others handled them.
