Lagos book reading for Waziri Adio’s memoir set for Feb 12

RovingHeights is set to host a book reading on ‘The Arc of The Possible’, a memoir by Waziri Adio, former executive secretary of the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI).

The event is billed to hold at 5 pm on February 12, 2022, at the RovingHeights Bookstore.

The venue is located at Plot 2&3 Water Corporation Drive, Landmark Centre in Victoria Island, Lagos.

It is understood that Adio will be present at the event alongside Toyin Akinosho, the art enthusiast and publisher.

‘The Arc of the Possible’, a publication of Cable Books, has 25 chapters spanning five sections and nearly 300 pages.

In the memoir, Adio chronicles his days in office at NEITI and the hurdles he faced trying to stay true to his values.

The book also captures the ideas he tried to bring into his job, the innovations he brought to bear especially in the policy arena, and the lessons he believes all who want to serve in public office in Nigeria need to imbibe.

Nasir el-Rufai, governor of Kaduna state, while speaking about the publication, said Adio’s account will be useful for those still in public service.

He added that the memoir reflects the roles and challenges that can prepare those coming into service.

“Public service is tough, but it is a necessary activity for building a better society. It helps to have the necessary preparation at this time,” the governor said.
