Conversation With History

Description

onversation with History features mostly people who, for want of a better expression, have made it in life: public officers, captains of industry, of human endeavour. They played various roles in shaping our contemporary national history. Through this book, their views and voices will continue to be heard loud and clear long after they and their interviewers must have played their part and left the stage. We believe their views on various aspects of our national development constitute some of the raw materials for future historians who may wish to shed some light on some of the critical events in our national history. an Agbese holds degrees in mass communication and journalism from the University of Lagos and Columbia University, New York, respectively.
