The enviable place of history in the growth and development of the Nigerian State dominated presentations and discussions on Thursday at the public presentation of the book "The
e making of Modern Nigeria: From Pre-colonial era till date," published by The Sun Publishing Limited.
One of those who spoke glowingly about the crucial position of Nigerian history, the Chairman of The Sun Publishing Limited, Ms Neya Kalu, stressed that the making of a new Nigeria is tied to the knowledge of the past.
Disclosing that the book chronicles the country's past, Kalu noted that Nigerians are resilient people, who are also determined to succeed.
"Nigeria is a land of great diversity. We are a nation of entrepreneurs, innovators and dreamers. We are a people who are resilient and determined to succeed.
Today, we come together to honour a group of people, who have dared to dream. Who have woven words into a tapestry of history and emotions.
"The making of a new Nigeria cannot begin without taking note of our history and this is what this book is created to achieve. We take you through Nigeria's journey in her former years and how that has influenced her in the latter years."
"In the pages of this book, we will find heroes from the public and private institutions, politics, sports, education and the arts. Perhaps, a reflection of our own hopes, fears and dreams."
