government.

on the daunting issues and challenges of nation building and aims to sensitise
Nigerians on their roles and responsibilities in bringing about the Nigeria of
our dreams.
This compilation of
articles written by Dr. Orabuchi, provides, almost in accurate terms, the
perception of Nigerians in the Diaspora.
It is a window to
an unbiased rating of government’s performance and a leeway to Nigeria's
socio-political and economic recovery.

and passion for his mother land, propels him to comment on the socio-political
challenges needed in bringing about a new Nigeria.
The scholar
believes in the potential of every Nigerian to join forces with the government
of the day in turning in a more secured country with a robust economy.
This erudite
scholar explains through numerous articles, the roles of dedication and service
as key ingredients that every citizen of Nigeria should have to bringing about
a more transparent and healthy economy.
His postulations
are geared towards investor-friendly policies that would galvanise local and
international investors to revamp the economy.
Dr. Orabuchi is an avid believer in Nigeria making a
paradigm shift from a mono-economy to a diversified economy where industrial
growth and expansion would shore up the revenue base of the nation.
Also, delving into
the political arena in the face of the lingering, seemingly ``gloomy economy,''
the don believes in a total overhaul of the current local government system in
Nigeria.
He also believes
that a lot depends on state governors, to bolster the revenue base of their
states.
