The Minister of Information and Culture,Alhaji Lai Mohammed,signed on behalf  of the ministry while the Chairman of Leadership Folio Limited,Mr Fidelis Anosike,signed for the production company.Speaking at the signing ceremony,the Minister described the Grand Book as a unique souvenir from Nigeria to the outside world.
''Going through the pictures,every page of this Grand Book is a delight.Every page of it is part of our history and what defines us as a unique country.As a matter of fact,you are not going to recognize some of these places are even in Nigeria.That's why I think there can be no greater gift from Nigeria to the outside world or ourselves than this Grand Book.We will strive as much as possible,at least in our ministry,to make this the official gift.We will try and persuade the presidency to also make this their official gift,'' he said.
Alhaji Mohammed said the production of the Grand Book has been captured in the ministry's budget for this year because of the high premium attached to the project.''We have had quite a lengthy negotiation.I have been involved in a lot of the negotiations myself.I personally went through the MoU and fortunately,at least this year,we did include in our budget the provision for this Grand Book,'' he said.
Alhaji Mohammed said the MoU spelt out the engagement between the ministry and the Leadership/Folio Limited,which involved setting up of a joint editorial team,the marketing strategy and the sharing formula of the proceeds of the book.In his remarks,Mr Anosike said the project was conceived five years ago in order to use information and culture to change the perception of Nigeria.
''Nigeria needs to tell its story and the driving force of this is what we call telling our stories ourselves.There is no consolidated compendium on Nigeria.We have done that research and we felt that we should be able to bring out the vision and come to the ministry that is the custodian to be able to partner to produce a book that we can use to change the perception about Nigeria,'' he said.
Mr Anosike thanked the Minister for driving the vision to fruition through what he called his rare commitment to the Nigeria Project.More photos below.

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
