Okonjo-Iweala book donation to varsities excites NUC

Okonjo-Iweala, Finance Minister

Executive Secretary, National Universities Commission, Prof. Julius Okojie, has commended the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, for the donation of 224 copies of her book, Reforming the Unreformable: Lessons from Nigeria, to Nigerian universities.

This was contained in a statement signed by the Deputy Director, Information and Public Relations of NUC, Mr. Ibrahim Yakasai.

Okojie, who described the gesture as a challenge to the system said,   “I am very pleased about what has happened. This level of intervention is very important. You walk into a library and see that a minister, a mother and wife, despite her busy schedule, has sat down to write a book, not an autobiography, but to talk about substance in the system. She spent her energy, resources and time.

“I have not read the entire book, but from the little that I have seen, it is a book that will serve the Nigerian university system very well, especially students of Economics and Finance, including those who are interested in Development Economics. We congratulate her on the success of this publication and the entire university system salutes her.”
