zeal of his contemporaries like Presidents Houphouët-Boigny (Côte d’Ivoire), Sekou Touré (Guinea) and Ahmadu Ahidjo (Cameroon), all of blessed memory.A major personality in African history and politics, Tolbert’s thoughts and legacies have continued to be of major relevance in contemporary African studies, especially to students of political evolution and developments on the continent.There are good historic lessons for subsequent generation of Liberians, and indeed all Africans, in the thoughts of this knowledgeable and erudite scholar who, for nine years, presided over the affairs of Africa’s first republic.The book It is Time for Change is a rich compendium of remarkable speeches of the late elder statesman, encapsulating his thoughts and reflections on various spheres of life of this former “American colony” in the Western Africa sub-region on issues of philosophy, education, humanism, international relations, politics, economy, development and governance.A critical look at the speeches delivered at various momentous occasions of his presidency in the history of Liberia reveals his profound knowledge of his political terrain, a deep understanding of his people and their aspirations, and his commitment to improve the Liberian society.A scion of the founding fathers of the Liberian nation and national standard bearer of the True Whig Party, President Tolbert spoke eloquently, and the contents of his speeches have retained deep profundity and significance for current and future generations of Africans in all walks of life.President Tolbert had a vision for Liberia, a vision of greatness, prosperity and advancement, a vision he had hoped to execute firmly. His contributions to the development and progress of Africa deserve to be recognized and remembered.Olusegun Obasanjo State House, Abuja, Nigeria September, 2000
