FOREWORD
It is with pleasure that I write the foreword to the book Where Angels Fear to Tread: The Skid Row Experiences written by Bridget O. Juwah.
I first met Bridget at the Nigeria Television Authority, Lagos, during a TV program at which I was being interviewed on the activities of the Nigeria Educational Research Development Council.
It turned out that Bridget also had an interview on the same day on her Health Foundation activities.
Obviously, it became necessary for her Foundation to seek collaboration from my Council on her activities.
This was the basis for my interaction with her on a number of health-related programs that her Foundation undertook between 1997 and 2002.
I am, therefore, not surprised that Bridget’s passion for helping the underprivileged in the area of substance abuse and reproductive health has led her to write this book, which deals with her experience in working for the improvement of this set of people.
The book reveals interesting, and perhaps surprising, information about the world of vagrant psychotics.
Parents, church leaders, teachers, and other leaders of thought in public and private sectors both nationally and internationally can be enriched by the content of this book to enable them to address the issues discussed.
It is on this basis that I, therefore, have no qualms whatsoever in recommending this book for all those who are concerned with the positive developments of our youths and even some unfortunate adults who are in this predicament.
Bridget is a former student union activist at the University of Ife—Nigeria, a social crusader, a scholar of distinction, and a servant of God with a typical anointing.
The book has therefore demonstrated her rare quality in handling the subject matter under reference. I congratulate her for this exposition and contribution.
I strongly recommend this book for individual and organizational libraries, so that valuable knowledge can be utilized for the improvement of society.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

Many thanks go to Evangelist Olagunju Olojede, my mentor and anchor, for giving me all the encouragement in the pursuit of this vision.

Profuse thanks to Chief and Mrs. Gregory Nnodim of Newlife Medicals California, U.S.A for support to Health Foundation at very critical times.
