This
book is fluid and engaging and gives the reader a ringside seat to the inner
sanctum of government. It is an account of an illustrious, international
diplomatic career spanning over twenty-five years. It is told with candour
and insightfulness and written with ease and elegance. The reader is bound to
enjoy it and some may even find it attractive enough to call it thrilling
because it reads like an enthralling ¯part history, part biography, and part
thriller.
Ambassador
Olusola Sanu has had the good fortune of serving Nigeria around the globe as
Ambassador to Ethiopia, to Belgium leading a group of 43 nations from Africa,
the Caribbean and the Pacific to ground breaking negotiations with the EEC; as
Ambassador to the US and Mexico; Ambassador to China; and finally as Ambassador
to Australia and New Zealand. In the United Nations, he served for nine years
as a member of ACABQ (UN Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary
Questions), the most powerful subsidiary organ of the United Nations, and was
Chairman of the Fifth Committee which deals with Administrative and Budgetary
matters. He was nominated by U Thant, the UN Secretary-General, to the
Committee of ‘10 Wise Men’ to represent Africa on the reform of the United
Nations system.
"Audacity
on the Bound: Odyssey of an African Diplomat" is the story of a man who has covered a
lot of ground.
The
author boldly tackles Ibadan as much as he does Nigeria and places a poignant
humanitarian request at the foot of the United Nations. It is a serious account
but craftily done as gales of humour rip through every chapter to hold the
reader spellbound.
