This book (volume 1) discussed the general theme of the book series by asking the pertinent question: is Nigeria in ruins? This question is necessary in view of the title of the book which suggests the Building of A New Nigeria: The Right Approach. The logical reasoning is, if Nigeria is not in ruins, we cannot be talking of building a new Nigeria, using the right approach.
This volume 1 also comprehensively discussed three sectors of the Nigerian economy, which are education, health and agriculture.
The book is a practical as it extensively examined the problems, the causes and the solution in the three sectors. The book is ideal for public office holders, personnel of international development, institutions (academic and research), students and foreigners who are desirous to know how to help Nigeria to develop.
