A skillful and comprehensive account of economic development in post-Independence Africa, he weaves his experiences from his vantage point of several assignments in various parts of the continent as an IMF official." - Dr. Afeikhena Theo Jerome African Peer Review Mechanism Secretariat Midrand, South Africa "African Economic Development: Cooperation, Ownership and Leadership is a new road map towards development, traced by Dr. Johnson... Cooperation and trust are the means of sustainable growth, and the main instruments for the elimination of the drawbacks attached to ethnic diversity, the reduction of government corruption, and constitute the preliminary steps towards good political leadership as well." - Dr. Chicot Eboue Professor of Economics Universite Nancy II"
