Making a New Nigeria: Welfarist Policies and People-Centered Development –  Akinwumi A. Adesina      

Growing up in the old Western Region of Nigeria in the 1960s, only one name was synonymous with people-centered development:  Awolowo. We lived in the same community  as the sage, in Okebola, Ibadan. As a young child, passing by the frontage of his house was a favorite pastime. I remember peering over its low walls, to see if I could just catch a glimpse of the man who transformed the lives of millions in the then Western region. My father was enamored by Chief Awolowo: he devoured his books, writings and articles. The name ‘Awolowo’ was a constant guidepost for every discussion in our home.
