Coming of Age: Youth Development in Nigeria during the 1960s and 1970s is a significantly revised edition of "Growing Up: Tony Joins the System."

The book is about the important role family members play in the growth and development of young men like Tony. The autobiographical treatise is set in Nigeria, West Africa during the 1960s and 1970s.

The country gained independence in 1960 and was eager to train young professionals for the country's rapid development. Thus, it became clear that a high quality education was the way to go.

Dedicated to my father Late Jerome Esagwu Onokpise Anyisire and my mother Late Margaret Evrawhoma Onokpise Anyisire
