The who is who in the policy making business of Nigeria met at Cosmila Hotel, Awka, Friday, November 22, 2019 to grace the epoch-making unveiling of CHINEME OGUEGBE's masterpiece, 'From Certificate to Success'.

The chairman noted that the author captured the pitch of constructive living. "Most young Nigerians believe there is a shortcut to life. But we are here because the author believe that life should be lived step by step.

"Chinemerem I am happy that while we were working together, you were proven to be a young man that one could be trusted. I kept pointing out to you that the path to success required connecting with your inner self. It took character, focus and being able to connect with your inner self for me to have achieved moving from being the son of a headmaster to being the special adviser to the president.

"Today is significant because a young man has gone into his inner self and is sharing with you the value that has brought him thus far in life. God has deposited gold in all of us. If we are able to tap into what we have to offer, we would share the gold on the side of good."

The author, Oguegbe, described the book as a personal journey to self realisation for him. "I wanted to change the narrative of youth development in Nigeria through our philosophy of self realisation.

"Our schools don't tell us there are inward passions we need to develop to self realisation and self actualisation so that the next generation would not be lost to the old mindset. The book is a product of Geoserve Rennaisance Academy a platform for young people to develop and propagate this philosophy," he said.

The book reviewer was Rev. Fr. Dr Emmanuel Umezinwa, a musicologist and educationist. In his review, Rev. Umezinwa stated that the book made a good impression on him. He noted conscious decision making and consciousness as key points in the entire book, adding that such distinguishes man from other animals.
