Description
"The Number One Mission" explores the Nigerian High Commission in the United Kingdom from the perspective of history and diplomacy.
“Yemi Edun captures the history of the Nigeria Mission from a particularly refreshing and alluring perspective.”
Chief Wole Olanipekun SAN, Legal Practitioner
“The colourful descriptions of the internal processes and incidents offer a tense balance between the frustrations people have experienced and the explanations that somewhat mollify them.”
--Ambassador Dr Modupe Irele, Former Nigerian Ambassador to France, and immediate past Nigerian Ambassador to Hungary, Czech Republic, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
“As you turn the pages, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the multifaceted nature of diplomacy, the aspirations of Nigerians in London, and the close bonds that tie us to our homeland.
While No 9 Northumberland Avenue is a recognizable landmark for Nigerians residing in the UK its offerings as examined so effortlessly by Edun, are much broader than merely consular services.”
--Professor Bamitale Omole, Former Vice-Chancellor, Obafemi Awolowo University (2011-2016)
“The author shows familiarity and intimacy not only with the political landscape in which Nigeria’s High Commission in London is situated and operates but has also demonstrated abundant information on the High Commissioners who had presided over the conduct and management of Nigerias diplomatic relations with the United Kingdom concentrating largely on the performance of Ambassadors Sarafa Tunji Isola.”
