The book discusses the politics and contestations around economic development in Nigeria, and argues that the heavy reliance on projects, policies, and programmes primed towards improving the GDP are defective strategies that can hardly lead to sustainable development. The author recommends a people-centred strategy that will focus on the needs of citizens such as access to good education and healthcare as well as a system that ensures equity, fairness and justice for all.
