SETH APATI, a former journalist, has been an adviser to diplomats, CEOs and boards of directors of some of Africa's largest banks and multinational corporations, interfacing with power-brokers and statesmen in the corridors of power of Nigeria. This book is a culmination of his two decades of working with global financial institutions in West Africa and his extensive research into the reform and multi-billion dollar looting of Nigeria's banking system.
