Nnewi in History

Unarguably, whenever a roll-call of makers of modern Nnewi is made, the name of Chief L.N.E Nsoedo will definitely be at the forefront. How do we know this? Nnewi in History, 1924-2004: The portrait of L.N.E. Nsoedo, is a well-researched biographical account of the tremendous achievements and contributions of Chief Leonard Nsoedo, an illustrious son of Nnewi, to the socio-economic and political development of the town in particular and Nigeria at large. It is a bold attempt at drawing the attention of scholars to the contributions of eminent personalities in the making of modern Nigeria. The book contains, as well, aspects of the history of Nnewi, the Igbo people, business and religious history, and the Nigeria Civil War.

It is indeed a good companion to students of history, political science, religion, and general readers who are interested in learning about the major development in Igbo land and Nigeria in general.
