Sojourner’s Memoirs- A Repertoire of Action for Nigeria’s Development",
authored by Dr Acho Orabuchi, a Nigerian in the Diaspora, will be officially

The forewords to the book were written by Sen. Ike
Ekweremadu, Deputy Senate President and Mr Femi Adeshina, Special Adviser to
President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity.
Similarly, its preface was penned by no other personality
than a former Governor of Imo State, Dr Ikedi Ohakim.
In the book, Dr Orabuchi bares his mind on the daunting
issues and challenges of nation building and aims to sensitise Nigerians on
their roles and responsibilities in bringing about the Nigeria of our dreams.
This compilation of articles written by Dr Orabuchi,
provides, almost in accurate terms, the perception of Nigerians in the
Diaspora.
It is a window to
an unbiased rating of government performance and a leeway to Nigeria's socio-political and economic recovery.
The author's love and passion for his mother land,
propels him to comment on the socio-political challenges needed in bringing
about a new Nigeria.
The scholar believes in the potential of every Nigerian
to join forces with the government of the day in turning in a more secured
country with a robust economy.
This erudite
scholar explains through numerous articles, the roles of dedication and service
as key ingredients that every citizen of Nigeria should have to bringing about
a more transparent and healthy economy.
His postulations are geared towards investor friendly
policies that would galvanise local and international investors to revamp the economy.
Dr Orabuchi is an avid believer in Nigeria making a
paradigm shift from a mono economy to a diversified economy where industrial
growth and expansion would shore up the revenue base of the nation.
And also, delving into the political arena in the face of
the lingering, seemingly ``gloomy economy,'' the don believes in a total overhaul
of the current local government system in Nigeria.
He also believes that a lot depends on state governors,
to bolster the revenue base of their states.
