According to the publishers, Profiles & Biographies, the compendium is part of the firm’s modest efforts to contribute to identifying a visionary and enduring leadership in Nigeria, adding that the men and women profiled in the book have a huge potential to contribute enormously in shaping Nigeria in 2022

The statement adds, “2021 was a year of challenges for many Nigerians. The world started reopening gradually from the pandemic but sadly, not in Nigeria. Instead, the elasticity of the patience of Nigerians was stretched to the limits from insecurity, galloping inflation, joblessness, and other unsavoury experiences, with many losing their jobs, their businesses, their joy, and sadly their lives.”

“In all these, there are those who fought through the undulating weather and uncertain times of 2021 and came out strong though not without scars. To the glory of God, this is victory for the average Nigerian still alive. The ordinary Nigerian in the street deserves some accolades. However, we have been able to monitor and distill news of extraordinary feats by some of these Nigerians, and it is these people whose profiles we are sharing as Changemakers. They are pioneers and rule breakers, thinkers and instigators, and above all, people who are committed to changing the world”, the statement added

Abam opined that “Nigeria is our collective patrimony. We must therefore do the needful to preserve it. We believe that Nigeria deserves a better deal than it currently has, especially in terms of leadership.

For years, Profiles & Biographies has led the way in profiling some of the most outstanding Nigerians from around the globe who are making an impact and contributing to the development of the society.
