A Journey in African Development is a creative chronicle of Chief Bisi Ogunjobi’s life as a
metaphor for a continent’s struggles and progression. The author displayed such strong, positive character as a child and young man that indicated he was cut out for significant educational and
professional accomplishments.

Importantly, however, this autobiography transcends mere personal narratives of individual accomplishment. It is an engaging historical and analytical work about development situated in the context of a critical review of burning issues in, about
and around Africa, and by Africans and their development partners. It underscores the social
relevance of the life the author has led, and his legacies, personal and collective, to the African
continent.

This autobiography, an inspiring story of hard work, commitment, and determination, is replete
with useful life’s lessons that will be of immense benefit to readers, Africans especially, and to social scientists, development students and experts, policy makers, and political leaders.
