Raising the Bar. Selected Speeches and Writings of Ojo Maduekwe.   This book is a masterpiece of one of Nigeria's greatest politician and intellectual. As one who has been in government, he speaks with the authority an insight of an Insider, yet with the bluntness of a critic that has borne the brunt of bad leadership- a synthesis that is both rare and unique.  The book is a collection of seventy-six  speeches and articles of Ojo Maduekwe.  It captures the various aspects of his personality as a social commentator, a politician, an administrator who has been at the helm of affairs of two federal ministries, a poet and a religious man.
