A Transcendent Think Tank of a Book
This book, Harnessing Nigeriaâs Maritime Assets: Past, Present and Future, by Bashir Yusuf Jamoh, would easily rate as one of the seminal presentations of our age, given its sweeping, yet precise and focused attention, first, to the age-old question of diversifying the Nigerian economy and, secondly, to the authorâs persuasive argument that what he calls âThe Blue Projectâ is where we must turn to revive our dimming socioeconomic fortunes and recover âcolossal waste and missed opportunities.â
Jamoh reaches for the position of the 17th Century English writer, Walter Raleigh, to sustain the thrust of his work. So, right there in the inside cover, he draws the attention of the reader to his mission by quoting the well-known English explorer: âFor whosoever commands the sea commands the trade; whosoever commands the trade of the world commands the riches of the world, and consequently the world itself.â
