Segun Aganga, a two-term minister, has made his debut as an author. Aganga first became a Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment during the President Olusegun Obasanjo’s regime in 2010. He was also made the Minister of Finance during the Goodluck Ebele Jonathan’s government in 2015.
His book, ‘Reclaiming the African Jewel: A Blueprint for Taking Nigeria and Africa from Potential to Posterity’, was first launched at the School of African and Oriental Studies (SOAS), in Russell Square, London, United States.
The book is a reflection of the former banker’s wealth of experience and passion both in the private and also in government. The book provides practical and pragmatic insights that all Nigerians, and anyone concerned about the economic future of Africa should consider.
The second book launch took place last week at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre, Federal Capital Territory.
The proceeds from the sale of the book will be donated towards poverty alleviation programmes in Nigeria and other African countries.
Aganga is also a renowned chartered accountant with over four decades of experience. He worked as a managing director at Goldman Sachs in London and senior director at Ernst and Young. He is also the founder of the Nigeria Leadership Initiative (NLI) and an advisory board member of the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust.
