Four Years of Talking

Four Years of Talking is a compelling compilation of speeches, articles, and press releases delivered by Prof. Steve Sinikiem Azaiki during his tenure as a member of the Nigerian House of Representatives from June 2019 to June 2023. The book offers a candid and detailed window into the work of a legislator - not just on the floor of the National Assembly, but across national, and international platforms. The book is organized into two thematic parts: Bayelsa Politics and National Affairs. Among the defining moments captured in the book are Prof. Azaiki's passionate response to the devastating 2022 floods in Bayelsa State, his position papers on the controversial Petroleum Industry Bill and the Electoral Bill, his stewardship accounts to constituents, and his consistent championing of education and human capital development. Former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR, wrote the Foreword, describing the book as "a clear portrait of robust representation."The book is dedicated to Prof. Azaiki's daughter, Kalizibe, who at thirteen fought cancer for two years - and won.
