History of Resources Management

From ancient civilisations to modern practice — tracing the origins, evolution, and growing relevance of the discipline that has always determined whether people, organisations, and nations succeed or fail

“Resources Management did not begin in a boardroom or a business school. It began the moment the first human being looked at what they had and made a deliberate decision about how to use it. Everything since then has been refinement.”

Long before the term “Resources Management” was ever written in a textbook, before it appeared on a university curriculum or in a corporate strategy document, human beings were practising it. They were practising it in the fields of ancient Egypt, in the granaries of early Chinese dynasties, in the trade routes of medieval merchants, and in the councils of African kingdoms that governed land, labour, and seasonal harvests with remarkable sophistication.

The history of Resources Management is, in the deepest sense, the history of human progress itself. Every civilisation that rose to greatness did so because it found a way to identify what it had, organise it with intention, and deploy it toward a defined purpose. Every civilisation that collapsed — and there have been many — did so, in large part, because it failed to do those things. The names and the centuries differ. The pattern does not.

In Nigeria today, the same pattern is playing out — simultaneously at every level. Individuals with genuine talent and real opportunity are struggling because their personal resources are unmanaged. Businesses with viable products and real customers are stagnating because their organisational resources lack structure and direction. A nation with extraordinary natural wealth and a population of over 200 million people continues to wrestle with poverty, underdevelopment, and unrealised potential — because the management of public resources has, for too long and too often, been inadequate to the task.

Understanding the history of Resources Management is not an academic exercise. It is a practical and deeply relevant act — because when you understand where this discipline came from, why it emerged, how it evolved, and what it was always responding to, you understand something important: the need for Resources Management has always been urgent. It has never been optional. And every era in which it was neglected paid a price that those who came after were forced to bear.

This article traces that history — from the earliest expressions of organised resource use in ancient civilisations, through the formalisation of management as a discipline in the industrial era, to the emergence of General Resources Management as the most comprehensive and relevant form of the discipline in the modern world. Along the way, it will connect that history to the present reality of individuals, organisations, and communities in Nigeria — because history is only truly useful when it illuminates the present.

What Is Resources Management? A Foundation Before the History

To trace the history of Resources Management meaningfully, we must first establish a clear and shared understanding of what it is — because the discipline has taken many forms across different eras, and without a clear definition, it is easy to mistake its expressions for unrelated events.

Resources Management is the systematic process of guiding, advising, solving, supervising, and supporting people and organisations to achieve sustainable success by optimising the use of available resources — human, social, financial, and organisational.

It is not simply about managing money or administering staff. It is about mobilising every form of resource — knowledge, skill, time, relationships, ideas, money, energy, and opportunity — to create balance, growth, and achievement across life, business, career, and community. In its most complete form, Resources Management operates through the Four Cs: Coaching, which guides individuals and teams toward growth; Counselling, which provides informed advice for sound decision-making; Consultancy, which delivers expert solutions to real problems; and Coordination, which supervises and ensures that plans are executed with accountability and discipline.

When these four functions are applied across Life Support, Business Support, Career Support, and Community Support, they form the unified discipline known as General Resources Management — the most holistic expression of what Resources Management is designed to do.

At its simplest, Resources Management is the art and science of turning potential into performance — by aligning what you have with what you want to achieve, and building the structures, habits, and systems that ensure that alignment is maintained over time.

With that definition established, we can now ask the question this article is built to answer: where did all of this begin?

The Purpose That Drove the History

Before tracing the historical timeline of Resources Management, it is important to acknowledge the purpose that has driven its development across every era and in every culture. Because the history of Resources Management is not a story of random developments — it is a story of a discipline evolving in direct response to a persistent and universal human need.

That need has always been the same: people have always had resources — land, labour, time, knowledge, money, and relationships — and they have always faced the challenge of using those resources to achieve specific goals or solve specific problems. The purpose of Resources Management has therefore always been to close the gap between what people have and what they are trying to achieve. To prevent waste. To create sustainability. To enable achievement. To solve problems. And ultimately, to empower people to direct their resources with intention rather than surrendering them to chance.

Every major development in the history of Resources Management — from the irrigation systems of ancient Mesopotamia to the scientific management theories of the early 20th century, to the emergence of General Resources Management in the modern era — has been a response to the growing complexity of that purpose and the expanding range of resources that human beings needed to manage in order to fulfil it.

Understanding this purpose is what transforms the history of Resources Management from an interesting chronology into a relevant and motivating story — one that connects directly to the challenges faced by an individual in Lagos trying to manage their finances, a business owner in Abuja trying to scale their operations, or a community in Anambra State trying to organise itself for greater collective impact.

The Ancient Foundations: Resources Management Before It Had a Name

Mesopotamia and the First Resource Systems (circa 3500 BC)

The story of Resources Management begins not in a modern office building but in the fertile plains between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers — the region known as Mesopotamia, in what is today Iraq. This is where some of the earliest known civilisations emerged, and with them, some of the earliest known systems for managing resources.

The Sumerians, who built city-states in Mesopotamia as far back as 3500 BC, developed the first known written records — not for poetry or storytelling, but for tracking resources. Clay tablets found by archaeologists contain meticulous records of grain allocations, labour assignments, livestock counts, and land measurements. These were, in every meaningful sense, resources management documents. They existed because the Sumerians understood — even if they did not use the language — that managing what you have requires knowing what you have, and that knowing what you have requires systematic recording and tracking.

The purpose was clear and practical: to ensure that the city-state had enough food to survive, enough labour to build and maintain its infrastructure, and enough coordination among its people to function as a coherent society. The management of resources was not a luxury. It was a survival strategy.

Ancient Egypt and the Management of Scale (circa 3000 BC)

Ancient Egypt represents one of the most remarkable examples of large-scale Resources Management in the ancient world. The construction of the pyramids — some of the most complex engineering achievements in human history — required the coordination of tens of thousands of workers, enormous quantities of stone, timber, water, and food, and a logistical system sophisticated enough to sustain that workforce over decades.

This was not achieved through brute force alone. It required careful planning, systematic organisation, disciplined allocation of human and material resources, and a command structure that could coordinate activity across multiple sites and time periods simultaneously. The Egyptians also managed the Nile’s annual flooding cycle with extraordinary precision — developing irrigation systems that turned seasonal water resources into year-round agricultural productivity. The result was a civilisation that sustained itself for over three thousand years — one of the longest-running successful resources management systems in human history.

The purpose driving Egyptian resources management was the same one that drives it today: to ensure that available resources — land, water, labour, time, and materials — were used as effectively as possible to achieve the civilisation’s goals and solve its problems.

African Kingdoms and Indigenous Resources Management

It would be a significant historical omission to trace the history of Resources Management without acknowledging the sophisticated systems developed by African kingdoms long before European contact. In the context of Nigeria’s own history, the great empires and kingdoms that flourished on Nigerian soil — the Benin Kingdom, the Oyo Empire, the Kanem-Bornu Empire, and the Hausa city-states among others — all developed and operated complex resources management systems.

The Benin Kingdom, for instance, managed a sophisticated guild system that organised skilled labour — bronze casters, weavers, leather workers, woodcarvers — into structured, accountable groups. This was human resources management in its original African expression. The Oyo Empire managed trade routes, military resources, and tributary relationships across a vast geographic area, requiring the kind of coordination and strategic resource allocation that would be recognisable to any modern organisational manager.

The Hausa city-states developed elaborate market systems, taxation frameworks, and agricultural management practices that ensured the sustainable use of land and water resources across the savanna. These were not primitive arrangements. They were sophisticated, locally evolved responses to the same fundamental resources management challenge that every human society has faced: how do you use what you have to achieve what you need?

The history of Resources Management in Nigeria did not begin with colonialism or with Western management theory. It began here — in the governance systems, market structures, and community practices of the peoples who built civilisations on this land long before any foreign influence arrived.

China’s Agricultural and Water Resources Management (circa 2000 BC)

In ancient China, Resources Management found one of its most enduring expressions in the management of water — the most critical resource in an agricultural society. Chinese rulers as far back as the Xia dynasty, around 2000 BC, are credited with developing large-scale water control systems — dams, canals, and irrigation networks — that transformed flood-prone land into productive farmland.

The management of these water systems required not just engineering knowledge but organisational capacity — the ability to coordinate thousands of workers, maintain infrastructure over generations, and allocate water resources fairly among communities. This was Resources Management operating at a civilisational scale, and its success was one of the foundational reasons for China’s extraordinary historical continuity and productivity.

The Medieval Period: Resources Management and the Economics of Survival

Feudalism and Land as the Primary Resource (500 – 1500 AD)

During the medieval period in Europe, land was the primary resource, and its management determined everything — wealth, power, security, and survival. The feudal system was, at its core, a resources management framework: land was allocated from kings to lords, from lords to knights, and from knights to serfs, in exchange for service, loyalty, and a portion of agricultural output.

This system had significant flaws — it concentrated resource ownership in the hands of a very few, and its management often served the interests of the powerful at the expense of the many. But as a system for organising the use of the primary resource of the age, it had a coherent logic. Land was identified, allocated, worked, and taxed — and the outputs of that process funded the military, the church, and the ruling class.

The lesson for today is not that the feudal system was good. It was not. The lesson is that every era develops a resources management system appropriate — or inappropriate — to its dominant resources and power structures. And the quality of that system determines the quality of life for the people within it.

Early Merchant Networks and Financial Resources Management

As the medieval period progressed, a new class of resources managers emerged: merchants. The growth of trade across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia created new resources management challenges — how to manage inventory, how to track financial transactions, how to manage risk across long and dangerous trade routes, and how to build and maintain the trust-based relationships that commerce required.

Early merchants in Italian city-states like Venice and Florence developed some of the first systematic financial management tools — double-entry bookkeeping, letters of credit, and early banking systems. These were Resources Management innovations responding to the specific challenge of managing financial resources across distance and time.

In the same period, Arab traders operating across the Middle East, North Africa, and into West Africa were developing their own sophisticated commercial resources management systems — managing caravans, currency exchange, credit, and the complex logistics of trans-Saharan trade that connected the economies of West African kingdoms with those of the Mediterranean world.

The Industrial Revolution: Resources Management Becomes a Discipline

The Factory System and the Birth of Formal Management (1760 – 1840)

The Industrial Revolution, which began in Britain in the mid-18th century and spread across Europe and North America over the following century, created resources management challenges of a scale and complexity that had never existed before. Factories brought together large numbers of workers, expensive machines, raw materials, and financial capital — all of which needed to be managed simultaneously and efficiently for the factory to be profitable.

This need gave birth to formal management as a recognised activity — the idea that organising and directing the use of resources was not simply a byproduct of production, but a distinct and critical function in its own right. Factory owners and managers developed systems for tracking output, scheduling shifts, managing inventory, and controlling costs. These were the first formal resources management systems in the modern industrial sense.

The challenges of the Industrial Revolution also revealed, with painful clarity, what happens when human resources — workers — are managed without regard for their wellbeing. The early factory system was characterised by brutal working conditions, child labour, exhausting hours, and the treatment of human beings as interchangeable parts of a production machine. The social consequences of this approach — poverty, disease, social unrest, and eventually organised labour movements — were a direct result of resources mismanagement. When the human resource is degraded, the whole system eventually pays.

Frederick Winslow Taylor and Scientific Management (1880s – 1910s)

The most significant formal contribution to Resources Management theory in the industrial era came from an American engineer named Frederick Winslow Taylor, whose work in the late 19th and early 20th centuries established what he called Scientific Management — the application of systematic observation, measurement, and analysis to the management of human and operational resources.

Taylor’s core insight was that most industrial work was being performed inefficiently — not because workers were lazy, but because no one had ever studied how the work was done and designed it for maximum efficiency. By analysing work processes in detail, standardising the most efficient methods, and training workers to follow those methods consistently, Taylor demonstrated that productivity could be dramatically improved without increasing the number of workers or machines involved.

Scientific Management was the first explicitly systematic approach to Resources Management in the modern sense — the first framework that said: if you study your resources carefully, understand how they work, and organise their use with discipline and precision, you will achieve significantly better results than if you manage by intuition and habit.

Taylor’s work had significant limitations — it treated workers more as machines than as human beings, and it undervalued the creative, social, and emotional dimensions of human work. But its contribution to the formalisation of resources management thinking was foundational and cannot be overstated.

Henri Fayol and the Principles of Management (1916)

While Taylor focused primarily on operational efficiency, a French mining engineer and executive named Henri Fayol was developing a broader framework for management that recognised the full scope of what managing an organisation’s resources required. In his landmark work published in 1916, Fayol identified five core functions of management: Planning, Organising, Commanding, Coordinating, and Controlling.

These five functions map almost perfectly onto the principles of modern Resources Management. Planning is about defining goals and determining how resources will be used to achieve them. Organising is about structuring those resources for maximum effectiveness. Commanding is about directing the use of resources with authority and clarity. Coordinating is about ensuring that different resources and different parts of the organisation work together coherently. And Controlling is about monitoring resource use to ensure it stays aligned with the plan and delivers the intended results.

Fayol also identified fourteen principles of management — including division of work, authority and responsibility, discipline, unity of command, and esprit de corps — many of which remain relevant to effective resources management today. His work established that managing an organisation’s resources was not simply a technical challenge but a human and organisational one — requiring leadership, communication, structure, and culture, not just systems and processes.

The 20th Century: Specialisation and the Expansion of Resources Management

Human Resources Management Emerges as a Profession

The early 20th century saw the emergence of Human Resources Management as a distinct professional discipline — the recognition that managing the people within an organisation was a sufficiently complex and important function to require dedicated expertise.

The catalyst for this recognition was the growing scale and complexity of industrial organisations, combined with the influence of labour movements that had successfully argued for better treatment of workers. Personnel management — as it was initially called — developed frameworks for hiring, training, compensating, and retaining workers. Over time, it evolved into the broader discipline of Human Resources Management, which addressed not just the administrative aspects of employment but the strategic alignment of human capital with organisational goals.

In Nigeria, Human Resources Management became formalised as a profession through institutions like the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria (CIPM), founded in 1968. The existence of this institution reflects the recognition — already decades old by that point — that managing human resources systematically was essential to organisational performance.

Financial Management and the Rise of Corporate Finance

Alongside Human Resources Management, Financial Management emerged as a distinct discipline in the 20th century — the systematic management of an organisation’s financial resources through budgeting, accounting, investment analysis, risk management, and financial reporting.

The development of financial management as a discipline was driven by the growing complexity of corporate finance, the expansion of capital markets, and the increasing need for organisations to account transparently for how they were using the financial resources entrusted to them by investors, creditors, and regulators.

In Nigeria, the evolution of financial management has been shaped by the development of institutions like the Central Bank of Nigeria, the Nigerian Stock Exchange, and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria — all of which have played roles in establishing standards and frameworks for the management of financial resources at the organisational and national level.

Project Management and the Coordination of Complex Resource Deployments

The mid-20th century also saw the emergence of Project Management as a formal discipline — the systematic management of resources (time, money, people, and materials) within the specific context of defined, time-limited projects.

The development of project management frameworks was driven by the complexity of large-scale post-war reconstruction efforts, space exploration programmes, and military logistics — all of which required the coordination of enormous and diverse resource portfolios toward defined goals within defined timeframes.

Project management tools like the Gantt chart, the Critical Path Method, and the Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) were developed in this period and represented significant advances in the ability to plan, allocate, and control the use of resources within complex undertakings.

Natural Resources Management and Environmental Consciousness

As the 20th century progressed, growing awareness of the environmental consequences of industrial development gave rise to Natural Resources Management as a formal discipline — the systematic governance of naturally occurring resources with a view to ensuring their sustainable use.

The publication of Rachel Carson’s landmark environmental work in the early 1960s, the first Earth Day in 1970, and the establishment of environmental protection agencies in countries around the world all reflected a growing recognition that the management of natural resources could not be left to market forces or individual discretion — that it required systematic governance frameworks, international cooperation, and long-term planning.

For Nigeria, this dimension of Resources Management has particular urgency. The exploitation of oil in the Niger Delta — conducted for decades without adequate environmental management frameworks — has produced a legacy of environmental destruction, community displacement, and ecosystem collapse that represents one of the most visible and costly examples of natural resources mismanagement in the world. The history of Resources Management in Nigeria cannot be told honestly without acknowledging this chapter — and the urgent need for better natural resources management frameworks going forward.

Information and Knowledge Management

The latter half of the 20th century also saw the emergence of Information and Knowledge Management as recognised resources management disciplines — the recognition that data, intellectual property, and organisational knowledge were resources that required systematic management, protection, and strategic deployment.

The rise of computers, database systems, and eventually the internet transformed the information landscape of organisations and governments in ways that created entirely new resources management challenges. How do you organise, protect, and leverage the enormous quantities of data that modern organisations generate and depend upon? How do you ensure that organisational knowledge — the accumulated expertise of your people and your history — is captured, retained, and made available when and where it is needed?

These questions are as relevant in a small business in Ikeja today as they are in a multinational corporation or a government ministry. And they reflect the expanding definition of “resources” that has characterised the evolution of Resources Management throughout the 20th and into the 21st century.

The 21st Century: General Resources Management and the Individual

New Resources for a New Era

The 21st century has brought with it an entirely new category of resources — digital assets, data, intellectual property, social media influence, artificial intelligence, and network effects — that did not exist in any meaningful form in previous eras. The management of these resources requires new frameworks, new skills, and new forms of expertise that are still being developed.

At the same time, the 21st century has brought a growing recognition that the existing forms of Resources Management — corporate, governmental, environmental — were not addressing a critical and fundamental gap: the individual.

For all the sophistication that Resources Management had developed over thousands of years — for all the frameworks, disciplines, and institutions that had been created to manage the resources of organisations, governments, and natural systems — the ordinary individual had been largely left out of the equation. There was no systematic professional support available to help the individual person identify, organise, and manage their personal resources in service of their personal goals and the resolution of their personal problems.

This gap was not a minor oversight. It was a foundational failure — because the individual is the basic unit of every organisation, every government, and every community. When individuals cannot manage their own resources effectively, the organisations they work in, the governments they participate in, and the communities they belong to are all diminished.

The Emergence of General Resources Management

It was in response to this gap — and in recognition of the full scope of what Resources Management had always been trying to do — that the discipline of General Resources Management emerged.

General Resources Management is the integration of Coaching, Counselling, Consultancy, and Coordination — the Four Cs — applied across Life Support, Business Support, Career Support, and Community Support, to deliver holistic, person-centred, outcome-focused resources management to individuals, groups, and organisations.

It is called “General” not because it is vague or non-specific, but because it is comprehensive — because it covers the full range of resources that human beings possess and the full range of purposes for which those resources need to be managed. It is the most complete expression of what Resources Management has always been moving toward: a discipline that serves not just corporations or governments, but every human being who has a goal to achieve or a problem to solve.

General Resources Management brings together the human development dimension — Coaching and Counselling — with the organisational efficiency dimension — Consultancy and Coordination — and applies them in an integrated, personalised way that produces real outcomes for real people in real situations.

This is the discipline practised by Jummikplus Global Services — and as of the time of this publication, Jummikplus Global Services is the only organisation offering this type of General Resources Management Service to individuals and organisations in this comprehensive manner.

The Nigerian Context in the 21st Century

In Nigeria, the emergence of General Resources Management as a discipline is particularly timely and particularly significant. Nigeria is a country of extraordinary human potential — a young, creative, entrepreneurial population of over 200 million people, many of whom are operating far below their capacity because their personal resources are unmanaged, their organisational resources are understructured, and their access to professional resources management support has been virtually nonexistent.

The challenges Nigeria faces — youth unemployment, small business failure rates, the persistence of poverty alongside significant national wealth, the brain drain of talented Nigerians seeking better-managed environments abroad — are, at their root, resources management challenges. They will not be solved by more funding alone, or by better policies alone, or by infrastructure investment alone. They will be solved when individuals, organisations, and communities across Nigeria have access to the kind of structured, professional, holistic resources management support that helps them turn what they have into what they need.

That is the contribution that the history of Resources Management, in its most current and most complete expression, is positioned to make.

What the History of Resources Management Teaches Us

Having traced the history of Resources Management from ancient Mesopotamia to modern Nigeria, several lessons emerge that are as relevant today as they have been at any point in this long history.

The first lesson is that the need for Resources Management is universal and permanent. Every human society, in every era, has faced the challenge of using its resources to achieve its goals and solve its problems. The names and the resources have changed. The need has not.

The second lesson is that Resources Management evolves in response to complexity. As human societies have become more complex, the discipline has expanded — from the management of land and grain, to the management of labour and capital, to the management of information and knowledge, to the management of the full spectrum of personal and organisational resources that characterises General Resources Management today. The evolution is not finished. It continues.

The third lesson is that neglecting Resources Management always has consequences. Every era of historical evidence confirms this. Civilisations that neglected the management of their resources collapsed. Companies that failed to manage their resources went bankrupt. Governments that mismanaged public resources presided over poverty and instability. Individuals who never managed their personal resources lived below their potential. The consequences of neglect are consistent, predictable, and avoidable.

The fourth lesson is that effective Resources Management has always required both systems and human capacity. It has never been enough to have a plan — the plan must be implemented by people who understand it, are committed to it, and are supported in executing it. This is why the Four Cs — Coaching, Counselling, Consultancy, and Coordination — are not additions to Resources Management. They are its operational core.

And the fifth lesson — perhaps the most important for our purposes — is that Resources Management has always been moving toward the individual. The history of the discipline is a history of expanding scope and expanding access. And its most current and most complete expression — General Resources Management — is the expression that finally makes the full power of the discipline available not just to corporations and governments, but to every person who has a goal to achieve or a problem to solve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Has Resources Management always existed, or is it a modern concept?

Resources Management has always existed — what has changed over time is its formalisation, its scope, and its name. Human beings have been identifying, organising, and deploying resources to achieve goals since the earliest civilisations. The systematic study and formalisation of these practices as a discipline called “Resources Management” is a more recent development, but the underlying practices are as old as organised human life. What we call Resources Management today is the latest — and most comprehensive — expression of something humanity has always done, to varying degrees of effectiveness.

Why did it take so long for Resources Management to focus on individuals, not just organisations?

The historical trajectory of Resources Management has been shaped largely by the needs of the most visible and economically powerful actors — states, empires, corporations, and institutions. Individuals, particularly ordinary individuals without significant economic power, were not seen as subjects worthy of systematic resources management support. The emergence of General Resources Management represents a fundamental shift in that perspective — a recognition that the individual is the foundational unit of all human systems, and that supporting individuals to manage their resources effectively is both the most humane and the most consequential application of the discipline.

How does Nigeria’s history with Resources Management compare to the global picture?

Nigeria’s history with Resources Management reflects both remarkable indigenous sophistication — the governance systems of the Benin Kingdom, the Oyo Empire, and the Hausa city-states were accomplished resources management systems — and the significant disruptions of colonialism and post-colonial governance challenges. The oil era introduced a form of natural resources management — or mismanagement — that has had profound and lasting consequences for the country. Nigeria’s current resources management challenges are real and urgent, but they are not unique. They are the expression of universal challenges in a specific context. And they are solvable — with the right frameworks, the right support, and the right commitment.

What is the connection between the history of Resources Management and what Jummikplus Global Services does today?

Jummikplus Global Services represents the current chapter in the long history of Resources Management — specifically, the chapter in which the discipline finally extends its full benefits to individuals and organisations that have historically been underserved. Everything Jummikplus does — helping individuals recognise and manage their personal resources, helping organisations align their assets with their goals, and providing the coaching, counselling, consultancy, and coordination that make those outcomes achievable — is the most current expression of what Resources Management has always been trying to do: to help people use what they have to achieve what they want and solve what burdens them.

Can understanding the history of Resources Management actually help me manage my own resources better?

Yes — and in a very specific way. Understanding that the need for Resources Management is universal and timeless removes the stigma of seeking help with it. Understanding that every successful civilisation, organisation, and individual throughout history has relied on structured resources management removes the illusion that success comes from natural talent or luck alone. And understanding that the discipline has evolved specifically to serve people like you — in your current circumstances, with your current resources and your current goals — removes the sense that Resources Management is for someone else. It has always been for you. It has simply taken this long to reach you in the form that can serve you best.

Conclusion

The history of Resources Management is a long one — stretching back thousands of years, across continents and cultures, through empires and revolutions, through the rise of industry and the emergence of the digital age. But it is not a history that belongs to the past. It is a history that is actively continuing — right now, in Nigeria, in every individual who is deciding how to spend their time today, in every business owner who is deciding how to allocate next month’s budget, in every community that is trying to organise itself for greater collective impact.

Every chapter of this history has been written in response to the same enduring human need: to use what we have, as well as we can, to achieve what we are trying to achieve and solve what we are struggling with. That need has not changed. What has changed — what the long arc of this history has made possible — is the sophistication, the accessibility, and the comprehensiveness of the discipline available to address it.

General Resources Management is not the end of that history. But it is its most complete expression yet — the point at which the full power of thousands of years of accumulated wisdom about how to manage resources effectively is made available not just to kings and corporations, but to every individual, every organisation, and every community that is ready to use it.

Nigeria has resources. You have resources. The question — as it has always been, throughout the entire history of this discipline — is what you are going to do with them.
