With regard to writing, the process of writing books involves research, critical thinking, experimentation, etc. and these helps to build the capacity of the author for innovative thing and creativity, among others. Similarly, readers are able to learn a lot from the wealth of experience of the authors. It is often said that experience is the best teacher, through books we can gain insights into the experience of the authors and those that they have written about.

Furthermore, investigation reveals that successful leaders always read. It is also found that many of these leaders attained success through reading. This is probably where the popular saying, today a reader, tomorrow a leader comes from. Charlie Munger, self-made billionaire and Warren Buffet’s long-time business partner stated that: “In my whole life, I have known no wise people who didn’t read all the time – none, zero.” The world’s smartest and Busiest people read for at least an hour daily. Dr Mahathir Mohammad, Malaysia’s 97 year old former and longest serving prime minister always reads. Dr Mahathir believes that a good read can be a great positive influence.

In his Foreword, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR said “I commend the Honourable Minister, Professor Isa Ali Ibrahim for being a good example of excellence and focus in how he has discharged his responsibility as a member of the Federal Executive Council. I also commend the author for this well researched work and for deeming it fit to document our digital economy journey.” Mr President went on to recommend the book to researchers, scholars, policy makers and Chief Executive Officers, in business and public offices.
