The Federal Government has approved a new book authored by Mr Christopher Ononukwe, a kinsman of Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo state.
The approval, conveyed in a letter dated 24 January 2024, and signed by the Executive Secretary of the National Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC), Prof. Ismail Junaidu, highlighted the book’s assessment by NERDC, as ”useful” and its recommendation for general readership.
The 319-page book, “Fundamentals of Government: A Complete Guide for Schools & Colleges”, has been lauded for its educational value, quality and potential impact on governance discourse, up to the tertiary education level.
Mr Ononukwe, who previously served as the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the former Interim Management Committee (IMC) Chairman of Oru East Local Government Area, Hon (Nze) Nyerere Ogbonna, expressed gratitude to Governor Uzodimma’s administration for the support received during the book’s fund-raising and launch, acknowledging the government for impacting on his political knowledge and providing inspiration for the bookwhich he began crafting in 2006.
Mr Ononukwe, who hails from Oru East LGA, extended appreciation to Engr. Emeka Celestine Ugoanyanwu, former MD/CEO of Imo State Water and Sewerage Corporation, for his support and leadership during the book’s launch, adding that his mentorship has always been of help towards the growth of his writing career.
The book, rooted in Ononukwe’s extensive experience as a teacher, administrative officer, communication specialist, and entrepreneur, is poised to contribute positively to national discourse on governance and leadership. It also aims to challenge negative mindsets among leaders and citizens, aligning with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on quality education and peace, justice, and strong institutions.
With its approval by NERDC, the highest implementing education agency of the Federal Government, the book is set to make waves across the country, offering valuable insights and perspectives on good governance and citizenship.
