In the Linguistic Paradise is the second volume in the Nigerian Linguists Festschrift Series. The motivating force behind the establishment of the Festschrift Series is to honour outstanding scholars who have excelled in the study of languages and linguistics in Nigeria.

The book is organised in five sections, as follows: Language, History and Society; Literature, Stylistics and Pragmatics; Applied Linguistics; Formal Linguistics; and Tributes. There are 15 papers in the first section the majority address the perennial problem of language choice in Nigeria. Section two contains 10 papers focusing on literature, stylistics and pragmatics. Section three contains 17 papers a sizeable number of which focus on language teaching and learning, two are on lexicography, while others are on language engineering. Section three contains 16 papers focusing on the core areas of linguistics. In section four a biographical profile of Professor E. Nolue Emenanjo and list of publications is presented, while Nwadike examines the contributions of Emenanjo in Igbo Studies.
A collection of lectures, seminar papers and keynote addresses from the last thirty years, by Chief Akinyele, a top-level Nigerian civil servant. The work is divided into four parts and covers: government economic policies and the private sector; government budgeting; administration and public management; and other topical issues which include chapters on university administration, managing the church in the twenty-first century, and the responsibilities of voluntary organisations in Nigeria. Broadly, the papers argue for the need to narrow the gap between management practices in the public and private sectors in the interest of the health of the national economy. They stress the overarching imperative of resource allocation principles in conditions of scarcity; the need for a slimmer and more results-orientated government; and a better organised private sector, equipped to assume the leadership of the national economy.
