ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Sunday Adaji
Writer • Legal Practitioner
• Literature-in-English Educator
Sunday
Adaji is a writer, author, and legal practitioner of many years’ standing. He
hails from Ofugo in Ankpa Local Government Area of Kogi State, Nigeria, and
holds a law degree from the University of Ibadan — one of West Africa’s
foremost centres of academic excellence — where he is also a distinguished
alumnus.
It
was during his undergraduate years at the University of Ibadan that Sunday
Adaji first discovered the particular gift that would shape a parallel career
alongside his legal practice: the ability to make literature come alive for
students. From those early days on campus, he began teaching English Language
and Literature-in-English at coaching centres in Ibadan, and has continued to
do so across decades of professional life, extending his teaching to coaching
centres and secondary schools in Abuja. Across both cities, across many years,
and across thousands of students, he has developed a rare and practical mastery
of what the subject demands — and of what students most need to succeed in it.
It
is that mastery — the confluence of a rigorous legal mind, a genuine love of
literature, and a teacher’s hard-won understanding of how and why students
struggle — that gave birth to this textbook. Sunday Adaji has seen, again and
again in classrooms and coaching centres, that the majority of students who
underperform in WASSCE and NECO Literature in English do not lack intelligence
or effort. They lack structured, exam-focused guidance: a clear, reliable, and
comprehensive resource that explains not just what the texts contain, but how
to analyse them, how to write about them, and how to perform with confidence and
precision in the examination hall. This book is his answer to that need.
Sunday
Adaji is currently engaged in full-time legal practice. This textbook
represents his commitment to giving back — to the subject that has engaged him
since his student days, to the teachers who inspired him, and above all to the
next generation of Literature students preparing to sit some of the most
important examinations of their academic lives.

The Author’s Personal Assurance “My assurance to every Literature student
who reads this book is this: if you engage with its content honestly and
thoroughly, you will walk into your WASSCE or NECO examination hall equipped
with the knowledge, the analytical tools, and the confidence to write well
and to excel. That assurance is not made lightly. It is grounded in my years
of experience as a Literature-in-English teacher, my understanding of how
WASSCE and NECO examiners think, and my conviction that every well-prepared
student is capable of achieving the grade they deserve.” — Sunday Adaji |
