Title: Who’s Who in Nigeria (2nd Edition)
Editor: Bankole Makinde
Publisher: Newswatch Books Limited
Pages: 1,388
Price: £32.00
Newswatch Who’s Who in Nigeria (2nd Edition)
is an update of the maiden edition which was published in 1990. It is a standard
reference on Nigerians of outstanding accomplishment; the movers and shakers in
Nigeria, captains of industry and commerce, titans of the academia, renowned
administrators, great scientists, prominent statesmen, famous writers and
journalists, barons of the bar and bench, military big-wigs, governors,
ministers, commissioners and other leading personalities of the day.
Unlike the first edition which contained 2,200 entries and
was 803 pages long, the 2nd edition is much bigger, containing more
than 4,000 entries and is 1, 388 pages. It is also the most up to date
bibliographical encyclopedia on and about Nigerians of merit.
As expected, the 2nd Edition benefits from the
experience of producing the maiden edition as it is richer both in terms of
depth of information and breadth of coverage. An innovation introduced in the
new edition is the adoption of the dictionary format, which makes for easy
reference.
