The 'Chief the Honourable Minister' of the title is Alade Moses, B.A., Dip. Ed. (University of London), Headmaster of the Grammar School in his home town of Newtown. While he is in London on a visit organised by the British Council, he is suddenly informed that he has been appointed a Minister in the Government of his country.
