Chairman's
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
Photo of: Robert P. Bremner
Robert P. Bremner | Chairman of the Board
Dear Shareholders:
I'd like to use my initial letter to you to accomplish several things. First, I
want to report that after fourteen years of service on your Fund's Board,
including the last twelve as chairman, Tim Schwertfeger retired from the Board
in June. The Board has elected me to replace him as the chairman, the first time
this role has been filled by someone who is not an employee of Nuveen
Investments. Electing an independent chairman marks a significant milestone in
the management of your Fund, and it aligns us with what is now considered a
"best practice" in the fund industry. Further, it demonstrates the independence
with which your Board has always acted on your behalf.
Following Tim will not be easy. During my eleven previous years on the Nuveen
Fund Board, I found that Tim always set a very high standard by combining
insightful industry and market knowledge and sound, clear judgment. While the
Board will miss his wise counsel, I am certain we will retain the primary
commitment Tim shared with all of us - an unceasing dedication to creating and
retaining value for Nuveen Fund shareholders. This focus on value over time is a
touchstone that I and all the other Board members will continue to use when
making decisions on your behalf.
Second, I also want to report that we are very fortunate to be welcoming two new
Board members to our team. John Amboian, the current chairman and CEO of Nuveen
Investments, has agreed to replace Tim as Nuveen's representative on the Board.
John's presence will allow the independent Board members to benefit not only
from his leadership role at Nuveen but also his broad understanding of the fund
industry and Nuveen's role within it. We also are adding Terry Toth as an
independent director. A former CEO of the Northern Trust Company's asset
management group, Terry will bring extensive experience in the fund industry to
our deliberations.
Third, on behalf of the entire Board, I would like to acknowledge the effort the
whole Nuveen organization is making to resolve the auction rate preferred share
situation in a satisfactory manner. As you know, we are actively pursuing a
number of possible solutions, all with the goal of providing liquidity for
preferred shareholders while preserving the potential benefits of leverage for
common shareholders. We appreciate the patience you have shown as we've worked
through the many details involved.
Finally, I urge you to take the time to review the Portfolio Manager's Comments,
the Common Share Distribution and Share Price Information, and the Performance
Overview sections of this report. All of us are grateful that you have chosen
Nuveen Investments as a partner as you pursue your financial goals, and, on
behalf of myself and the other members of your Fund's Board, let me say we look
forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead.
Sincerely,
/s/ Robert P. Bremner

Portfolio Manager's COMMENTS
Nuveen Investments Municipal Closed-End Funds | NUM, NMP, NZW, NUO,
NXI, NBJ, NVJ
Portfolio manager Daniel Close reviews economic and municipal market conditions
at both the national and state levels, key investment strategies, and the annual
performance of the Nuveen Michigan and Ohio Funds. Dan, who joined Nuveen in
2000, assumed portfolio management responsibility for these seven Funds in March
2007.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE U.S. ECONOMIC AND MUNICIPAL MARKET ENVIRONMENTS DURING
THE TWELVE-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD ENDED JULY 31, 2008?
During this period, developments in the credit markets led to increased price
volatility and tightening liquidity, causing a general flight to quality. In
September 2007, the Federal Reserve (Fed) responded to credit market volatility
by launching a series of interest rate cuts that lowered the fed funds rate by
325 basis points--from 5.25% to 2.00%--in eight months, including reductions of
125 basis points in January 2008 alone. Since April 2008, the Fed has left the
fed funds rate unchanged.
The Fed's rate-cutting actions also were a response to signs of slower growth in
the U.S. economy, as evidenced by changes in the U.S. gross domestic product
(GDP), a closely watched measure of economic performance. Although GDP expanded
at 4.8% in the third quarter of 2007, this measure fell into negative territory
(-0.2%) in the fourth quarter of 2007 before climbing 0.9% in the first quarter
of 2008 (all GDP numbers annualized). During the second quarter of 2008, GDP
grew at an annual rate of 3.3%, boosted by a surge in exports but still
reflecting a 16% decline in residential investment. The economy continued to be
strained by the troubled housing market as well as higher inflation. Driven
largely by increased energy, transportation and food prices, the Consumer Price
Index (CPI) registered a 5.6% year-over-year gain as of July 2008, including
July's 0.8%, the biggest one-month jump in 17 years. The core CPI (which
excludes food and energy prices) rose 2.5% between August 2007 and July 2008,
well above the Fed's unofficial target of 2.0% or lower. In the labor markets,
January 2008 marked the first decline in new job creation since 2003, breaking
the longest string of employment growth (52 months) in U.S. history. The
national unemployment rate for July 2008 was 5.7%, its highest level since March
2004, up from 4.7% in July 2007.
In the municipal bond market, factors related to the sub-prime mortgage crisis
had an indirect, but important, influence on performance. General concerns about
the credit markets as well as more specific concerns about municipal bond
insurers with exposure to sub-prime mortgages caused some investors to curtail
purchases. In addition, hedge funds and other non-traditional buyers of
municipal bonds began to

sell holdings of longer-maturity bonds into a market already experiencing a lack
of liquidity. Combined with the Fed rate cuts, this selling produced a sharp
steepening of the municipal yield curve, as longer-term interest rates rose and
short-term interest rates declined. Between August 1, 2007, and July 31, 2008,
the yield on the Bond Buyer 25 Revenue Bond Index, a widely followed measure of
longer-term municipal market rates, rose 57 basis points to 5.20%. By
comparison, the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note dropped almost 80 basis
points to end the reporting period at 3.98%. In this environment, bonds with
shorter maturities generally outperformed longer-maturity bonds, and higher
quality bonds tended to outperform lower quality credits.
Also of note in the municipal market, the U.S. Supreme Court in May 2008 ruled
that individual states could continue to offer their residents special tax
treatment on municipal bonds issued within their borders. The high court's
decision in Department of Revenue of the Commonwealth of Kentucky vs. Davis
preserved tax rules in forty-two states, allowing them to continue to exempt
from taxation the income their residents earn on in-state municipal bonds while
taxing the income earned on municipal bonds issued in other states.
Over the twelve months ended July 2008, municipal bond issuance nationwide
totaled $461.9 billion, a decrease of less than 1% from the previous twelve
months. As of July 31, 2008, insured bonds comprised 23% of new supply, compared
with the recent historical figure of approximately 50%. Despite disruptions in
the markets, new municipal issuance continued to be met with solid demand by
institutional and retail investors as well as non-traditional buyers returning
to the market over the last few months.
HOW WERE THE ECONOMIC AND MARKET ENVIRONMENTS IN MICHIGAN AND OHIO DURING THIS
PERIOD?
Michigan, which has one of the weakest state economies in the nation, continued
to face serious challenges. In 2007, the state saw its economy contract, posting
negative growth of -1.2%, compared with the national average of 2.0%. This
ranked Michigan 49th in the nation in terms of GDP by state, ahead of only
Delaware. The weakness of the state's GDP was mainly due to declines in
construction, finance, and real estate. According to the Standard & Poor's (S&P)
Case-Shiller home price index of 20 major metropolitan areas, housing prices in
Detroit fell 16.3% between July 2007 and June 2008. This compared with an
average decline of 15.4% nationwide. Michigan also continued to rely heavily on
the manufacturing sector, which has lost thousands of jobs in recent years,
especially in the beleaguered auto industry. However, job growth in the
education, health care, and leisure and hospitality industries appeared more
promising. In July 2008, Michigan's jobless rate was 8.5%, the highest state
unemployment rate in the nation and the highest level for the state in almost 16
years, up from 7.1% a year ago. As of July 2008, Moody's, S&P, and Fitch rated
Michigan general obligation debt at Aa3, AA-, and A+, respectively. During the
twelve months ended July 31, 2008, municipal issuance in Michigan totaled $11.4
billion, an increase of 9% from the
5
previous twelve months. According to Moody's medians, which compare the 50
states, Michigan ranked 7th in terms of gross tax-supported debt (with $21.9
billion outstanding) and 26th in debt per capita.
With GDP growth of 0.4%, Ohio fell into the bottom quintile of economic growth
by state in 2007, ranking 42nd. Like Michigan, Ohio's heavy dependence on the
manufacturing sector, particularly the declining auto industry, impacted both
economic and job growth in the state. Employment in Ohio remained less
diversified than that of the nation as a whole, with manufacturing accounting
for 15% of jobs, compared with the national average of 10%. Gains in education,
health care, and leisure and hospitality employment helped to offset some of the
manufacturing job losses. As of July 2008, Ohio's unemployment rate was 7.2%,
the highest since 1992, up from 5.6% in July 2007. Although mortgage
delinquencies and foreclosures have risen, Ohio's housing market has been more
stable than that in some other parts of the country. In June 2008, the
S&P/Case-Shiller home price index reported that housing prices in Cleveland had
fallen 7.3% since July 2007, compared with an average decline of 15.4%
nationwide. As of July 2008, Moody's, S&P, and Fitch rated Ohio general
obligation debt at Aa1, AA+, and AA+, respectively. S&P listed the outlook for
Ohio as stable, while Moody's maintained a negative outlook, citing the weak
Ohio economy as well as recent tax restructuring. For the twelve months ended
July 31, 2008, municipal issuance in Ohio reached $17.9 billion, an increase of
31% over the previous twelve months. According to Moody's, Ohio ranks 15th in
the nation in terms of gross tax-supported debt (with $11.1 billion outstanding)
and 21st in terms of tax-supported debt per capita.
WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THE MICHIGAN AND OHIO FUNDS DURING THIS
REPORTING PERIOD?
During this twelve-month period, as the municipal market was characterized by
volatility and a steepening yield curve, we sought to capitalize on the
turbulent environment by continuing to focus on relative value, using a
fundamental approach to find undervalued sectors and individual credits with the
potential to perform well over the long term.
Among the issues we added to the Michigan and Ohio Funds were health care bonds,
including some uninsured, lower-rated hospital credits. As periodic dislocations
in the municipal market provided attractive opportunities to selectively invest
in lower-quality, higher-yielding bonds, we used the resources of our research
team to find those health care bonds that we believed represented the best
values. All of the Ohio Funds also participated in the $5.5 billion Buckeye
Tobacco Settlement Financing Authority offering in October 2007. The Michigan
Funds also purchased tobacco bonds.
6
In addition, we purchased a number of higher-quality water and sewer bonds and
general obligation (GO) issues in both states. In Michigan, the GOs centered on
school districts that we considered good underlying credits, mainly in the
central and western areas of Michigan, as we continued to deemphasize issuers in
the Detroit area. NUM and NZW also added a tax appropriation issue. In the Ohio
Funds, we purchased an electric utility offering and several AAA rated housing
credits backed by the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA).
The Funds also added exposure to the short end of the yield curve by purchasing
small positions in auction rate bonds. Because of their extremely short
durations, auction rate securities traditionally have been far more popular with
money market fund managers than with municipal bond fund managers. However,
demand for these issues evaporated when the credit markets became relatively
illiquid, and their yields rose to unprecedented levels. As a result, we saw an
opportunity to buy these bonds at attractive yields.
To generate cash for purchases, we selectively sold holdings with shorter
durations(1), including shorter-dated pre-refunded(2) bonds. Selling shorter
duration bonds and reinvesting further out on the yield curve also helped to
improve the Funds' overall call protection profiles. We also took advantage of
strong bids to sell bonds that were attractive to the retail market. In
addition, some of our new purchases were funded with proceeds from bond calls.
The Ohio Funds also found opportunities to sell holdings that were purchased
when yields were lower and replace them with similar, newer credits that yielded
comparatively more. This process allowed us to maintain the Funds' current
portfolio characteristics while strengthening their future income streams.
As part of our disciplined approach to duration management, we used inverse
floating rate securities(3), a type of derivative financial instrument, in all
of the Michigan and Ohio Funds. Inverse floaters typically provide the dual
benefit of bringing the Funds' durations closer to our strategic target and
enhancing their income-generation capabilities. During this period, we found it
advantageous to terminate some of the inverse floating rate securities in each
of these Funds, although all of the Funds continued to use inverse floaters as
of July 31, 2008.
NMP, NUO, NXI, NBJ and NVJ also used additional types of derivative financial
instruments to help us manage their common share net asset value (NAV)
volatility without having a negative impact on their income streams or common
share dividends over the short term and to lengthen duration.
(1) Duration is a measure of a bond's price sensitivity as interest rates
change, with longer duration bonds displaying more sensitivity to these
changes than bonds with shorter durations.
(2) Advance refundings, also known as pre-refundings or refinancings, occur
when an issuer sells new bonds and uses the proceeds to fund principal and
interest payments of older existing bonds. This process often results in
lower borrowing costs for bond issuers.
(3) An inverse floating rate security is a financial instrument designed to pay
long-term tax-exempt interest at a rate that varies inversely with a
short-term tax-exempt interest rate index. For the Nuveen Funds, the index
typically used is the Securities Industry and Financial Markets (SIFM)
Municipal Swap Index (previously referred to as the Bond Market Association
Index or BMA). Inverse floaters, including those inverse floating rate
securities in which the Funds invested during the reporting period, are
further defined within the Notes to Financial Statements and Glossary of
Terms Used in This Report sections of this shareholder report.

For the twelve months ended July 31, 2008, the total returns on common share NAV
for all three of the Michigan Funds as well as the four Ohio Funds exceeded the
average returns for the Lipper Michigan peer group and the Lipper Other States
peer group, respectively. At the same time, the Funds underperformed the return
on the national Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index. Shareholders should note
the Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Average and the Lehman Brothers
Municipal Bond Index include bonds from states not covered in this report, which
may make direct comparisons between the funds and these benchmarks less
meaningful.
One of the factors impacting the performance of these Funds relative to that of
the unleveraged Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index was the use of financial
leverage. While leverage offers opportunities for additional income and total
returns for common shareholders, the benefits provided by leveraging are
influenced by the general price movements of the bonds in each Fund's portfolio.
During this period, as the yields on

(4) The Lipper Michigan Municipal Debt Funds Average is calculated using the
returns of all closed-end funds in this category for each period as
follows: 1 year, 7; 5 years, 7; and 10 years, 4. Fund and Lipper returns
assume reinvestment of dividends.
(5) The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index is an unleveraged, unmanaged
national index comprising a broad range of investment-grade municipal
bonds. Results for the Lehman index do not reflect any expenses.
(6) The Lipper Other State Municipal Debt Funds Average is calculated using the
returns of all closed-end funds in this category for each period as
follows: 1 year, 46; 5 years, 46; and 10 years, 18. Fund and Lipper returns
assume reinvestment of dividends. Shareholders of the Ohio Funds should
note that the performance of the Lipper Other States category represents
the overall average of returns for funds from ten different states with a
wide variety of municipal market conditions, making direct comparisons less
meaningful.

longer-term bonds rose and their prices correspondingly fell, declining
valuations had a negative effect on performance that was magnified by the use of
leverage. In addition, the Funds' borrowing costs remained relatively high,
negatively impacting their common share total returns. In the turbulent market
environment of the past twelve months, the impact of any valuation change in the
Funds' holdings - whether positive or negative - was magnified by the use of
leverage.
Other key factors that influenced the Funds' returns included yield curve and
duration positioning, the use of derivatives, credit exposure and sector
allocations and holdings of bonds backed by lower-rated municipal bond insurers.
Given the changes in the interest rate environment, bonds in the Lehman Brothers
Municipal Bond Index with maturities of less than ten years, especially those
maturing in approximately three to five years, benefited the most. As a result,
these bonds generally outperformed credits with longer maturities, with bonds
having the longest maturities (twenty-two years and longer) posting the worst
returns. Overall, the duration positioning of the four Ohio Funds was a net
positive for performance during this period. Although the Funds were
underexposed to the outperforming shorter maturity categories, this was
generally offset by their heavier allocations to the intermediate part of the
yield curve, which performed relatively well, and lower weightings in the
underperforming long part of the curve. Among the Michigan Funds, the duration
story for NMP was generally the same as that for the four Ohio Funds. However,
both NUM and especially NZW had less exposure to intermediate maturity bonds
than NMP, which hurt their performances.
As mentioned earlier, NMP, NUO, NXI, NBJ, and NVJ used derivative financial
instruments during this period to synthetically extend duration and move them
closer to our strategic duration target. Despite the fact that longer duration
municipal bonds generally underperformed those with shorter durations, the use
of these derivatives had a positive impact on the return performance of these
five Funds, especially NXI and NVJ, which had established larger derivative
positions. This positive impact was attributable to the fact that the
derivatives provided exposure to taxable markets during a period when, in
contrast to historical trends, the taxable markets and the municipal market
moved in the opposite directions. As municipal market performance lagged the
gains in the taxable markets, these derivatives performed very well.
On the other hand, the inverse floaters used by the Michigan and Ohio Funds
generally had a negative impact on performance. This resulted from the fact that
the inverse floaters effectively increased the Funds' exposure to longer
maturity bonds during a period when shorter maturities were in favor in the
market. All of the inverse floaters benefited these Funds by helping to support
their income streams.
Because risk-averse investors generally sought higher quality investments as the
disruptions in the financial and housing markets deepened, bonds rated BBB or
below
9
typically posted poor returns. As of July 31, 2008, NUM and NMP had allocated
approximately 6% and 7%, respectively, of their portfolios to bonds rated BBB
and lower, while NZW had an allocation of 12% to the lower credit quality
categories and non-rated bonds. Among the Ohio Funds, exposures to the
lower-rated bonds ranged from approximately 9% and 8% in NUO and NVJ,
respectively, to 11% in NXI and 16% in NBJ.
In general, bonds that carried any credit risk, regardless of sector, tended to
perform poorly. Revenue bonds as a whole, and especially the industrial
development and health care sectors that had ranked among the top performers in
the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index over the past few years, underperformed
the general municipal market. Next to the industrial development revenue sector,
zero coupon bonds were among the worst performing categories in the municipal
market, and the Funds were negatively impacted by their holdings of longer
maturity zero coupon credits. The housing sector also performed poorly, as did
lower-rated bonds backed by the 1998 master tobacco settlement agreement, which
comprised less than 1% of the Michigan Funds' portfolios and approximately 3% of
the Ohio Funds as of July 31, 2008.
Sectors of the market that generally made positive contributions to the Funds'
performances included general obligation bonds, water and sewer, electric
utilities and special tax issues. Pre-refunded bonds also performed
exceptionally well, due primarily to their shorter effective maturities and
higher credit quality. Among these Funds, NUM, NXI, and NVJ held the heaviest
weightings of advance refunded bonds. Some of the Funds also continued to see
positive contributions from pre-refunding activity, which benefited them through
price appreciation and enhanced credit quality.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING BOND INSURANCE COMPANIES
Another factor that had an impact on the performance of these Funds was their
position in bonds backed by municipal bond insurers that experienced downgrades
in their credit ratings. During the period covered by this report, AMBAC, FGIC,
MBIA, RAAI and XLCA experienced one or more rating reductions by at least one or
more rating agencies. At the time this report was prepared, at least one rating
agency has placed each of these insurers on "negative outlook" or "negative
credit watch", which may presage one or more rating reductions for such insurer
or insurers in the future. As concern increased about the balance sheets of
these insurers, prices on bonds insured by these companies--especially those
bonds with weaker underlying credits--declined, detracting from the Funds'
performance. However, on the whole, the holdings of all of our Funds continued
to be well diversified not only between insured and uninsured bonds, but also
within the insured bond category, and it is important to note that municipal
bonds historically have had a very low rate of default.
10
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AUCTION RATE PREFERRED SECURITIES (ARPS) MARKETS
Beginning in February 2008, more shares for sale were submitted in the regularly
scheduled auctions for the preferred shares issued by these Funds than there
were offers to buy. This meant that these auctions "failed to clear" and that
many or all auction preferred shareholders who wanted to sell their shares in
these auctions were unable to do so. This decline in liquidity in auction
preferred shares did not lower the credit quality of these shares, and auction
preferred shareholders unable to sell their shares received distributions at the
"maximum rate" applicable to failed auctions as calculated in accordance with
the pre-established terms of the auction preferred shares. At the time this
report was prepared, the Funds' managers could not predict when future auctions
might succeed in attracting sufficient buyers for the shares offered, if ever.
The Funds' managers are working diligently to refund the auction preferred
shares, and have made progress in these efforts, but at present there is no
assurance that these efforts will succeed. These developments generally do not
affect the management or investment policies of these Funds. However, one
implication of these auction failures for common shareholders is that the Funds'
cost of leverage will likely be higher, at least temporarily, than it otherwise
would have been had the auctions continued to be successful. As a result, the
Funds' future common share earnings may be lower than they otherwise would have
been.
On June 11, 2008, Nuveen announced the Fund Board's approval of plans to use
tender option bonds (TOBs), also known as floating rate securities, to refinance
a portion of the municipal funds' outstanding ARPS, whose auctions have been
failing for several months, including an initial phase of approximately $1
billion in forty-one funds. On June 26, 2008, thirteen municipal funds (none of
which are included in this shareholder report) issued par redemption notices for
a portion of their auction-rate securities aggregating approximately $580
million.
On August 7, 2008, four municipal funds (none of which are included in this
shareholder report) issued par redemption notices for all outstanding shares of
their ARPS totaling $569.9 million. These redemptions were achieved through the
issuance of Variable Rate Demand Preferred shares (VRDP) in conjunction with the
proceeds from the creation of TOBs.

Common Share
Dividend and Share Price
INFORMATION
As previously noted, all of the Funds in this report use leverage to potentially
enhance opportunities for additional income for common shareholders. While this
strategy continued to provide incremental income, the extent of this benefit was
reduced to some degree by the borrowing costs associated with leverage, which
remained relatively high. The Funds' income streams were also impacted as the
proceeds from older, higher-yielding bonds that matured or were called were
reinvested into bonds currently available in the market, which generally offered
lower yields than the maturing or called bonds. These factors resulted in one
monthly dividend reduction in each of the Michigan and Ohio Funds over the
twelve-month period ended July 31, 2008.
Due to normal portfolio activity, common shareholders of the following Funds
received capital gains and net ordinary income distributions at the end of
December 2007 as follows:
Short-Term Capital Gains
Long-Term Capital Gains and/or Ordinary Income

certain periods, each Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less
than the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Fund during the
period. If a Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it
holds the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as
part of the Fund's NAV. Conversely, if a Fund has cumulatively paid dividends in
excess of its earnings, the excess constitutes negative UNII that is likewise
reflected in the Fund's NAV. Each Fund will, over time, pay all of its net
investment income as dividends to shareholders. As of July 31, 2008, all of the
Michigan and Ohio Funds in this report had positive UNII balances for tax
purposes. NUO, NXI and NVJ had positive UNII balances while all of the Michigan
Funds and NBJ had negative UNII balances for financial statement purposes.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the portfolios of investments, of Nuveen Michigan Quality Income Municipal Fund,

(the "Funds"), as of July 31, 2008, and the related statements of operations for
the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two
years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the
five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial
highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were
not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial
reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the
effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of July 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and
brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers
were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of
Nuveen Michigan Quality Income Municipal Fund, Inc., Nuveen Michigan Premium
Income Municipal Fund, Inc., Nuveen Michigan Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund,
Nuveen Ohio Quality Income Municipal Fund, Inc., Nuveen Ohio Dividend Advantage
Municipal Fund, Nuveen Ohio Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 and Nuveen Ohio
Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 3 at July 31, 2008, the results of their
operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of
the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of
the five years in the period then ended in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The funds covered in this report and their corresponding Common share stock
exchange symbols are Nuveen Michigan Quality Income Municipal Fund, Inc. (NUM),
Nuveen Michigan Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc. (NMP), Nuveen Michigan
Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NZW), Nuveen Ohio Quality Income Municipal
Fund, Inc. (NUO), Nuveen Ohio Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NXI), Nuveen
Ohio Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (NBJ) and Nuveen Ohio Dividend
Advantage Municipal Fund 3 (NVJ) (collectively, the "). Common shares of
Michigan Quality Income (NUM), Michigan Premium Income (NMP), and Ohio Quality
Income (NUO) are traded on the New York Stock Exchange while Common shares of
Michigan Dividend Advantage (NZW), Ohio Dividend Advantage (NXI), Ohio Dividend
Advantage 2 (NBJ) and Ohio Dividend Advantage 3 (NVJ) are traded on the American
Stock Exchange. The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended, as closed-end management investment companies.
Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and
designated state income taxes by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio
of municipal obligations issued by state and local government authorities within
a single state or certain U.S. territories.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
Investment Valuation
The prices of municipal bonds in each Fund's investment portfolio are provided
by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Directors/Trustees. When
market price quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for
municipal securities), the pricing service may establish fair value based on
yields or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue,
coupon, maturity and rating, indications of value from securities dealers,
evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral and general market
conditions. Prices of forward swap contracts are also provided by an independent
pricing service approved by each Fund's Board of Directors/Trustees. Futures
contracts are valued using the closing settlement price or, in the absence of
such a price, at the mean of the bid and asked prices. If the pricing service is
unable to supply a price for an investment or derivative instrument, each Fund
may use market quotes provided by major broker/dealers in such investments. If
it is determined that the market price for an investment or derivative
instrument is unavailable or inappropriate, the Board of Directors/Trustees of
the Funds, or its designee, may establish fair value in accordance with
procedures established in good faith by the Board of Directors/Trustees.
Temporary investments in securities that have variable rate and demand features
qualifying them as short-term investments are valued at amortized cost, which
approximates value.
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and
losses from transactions are determined on the specific identification method.
Investments purchased on a when-issued/delayed delivery basis may have extended
settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market
fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to
segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the
when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. At July 31, 2008, Michigan
Quality Income (NUM), Michigan Premium Income (NMP), Michigan Dividend Advantage
(NZW), Ohio Quality Income (NUO), Ohio Dividend Advantage (NXI), Ohio Dividend
Advantage 2 (NBJ) and Ohio Dividend Advantage 3 (NVJ) each had outstanding

Investment Income
Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis.
Investment income also includes paydown gains and losses, if any.
64
Income Taxes
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund
intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net
capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore,
each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable interest from
municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and designated state
income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders
of the Funds. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions paid
by the Funds are subject to federal taxation.
Effective January 31, 2008, the Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 `'Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes"
(FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be
recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN
48 requires the affirmative evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be
taken in the course of preparing the Funds' tax returns to determine whether it
is `'more-likely-than-not" (i.e., a greater than 50 percent likelihood) of being
sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the
more-likely-than-not threshold may result in a tax expense in the current year.
Implementation of FIN 48 required management of the Funds to analyze all open
tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, for all major
jurisdictions, which includes federal and certain states. Open tax years are
those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally, the
last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). The Funds have
no examinations in progress.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions through the end of the
reporting period, management of the Funds has reviewed all tax positions taken
or expected to be taken in the preparation of the Funds' tax returns and
concluded that the adoption of FIN 48 resulted in no impact to the Funds' net
assets or results of operations as of and during the fiscal year ended July 31,
2008.
The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably
possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly
change in the next twelve months.
Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders
Dividends from tax-exempt net investment income are declared monthly. Net
realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if
any, are distributed to shareholders at least annually. Furthermore, capital
gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss
carryforwards.
Distributions to Common shareholders of tax-exempt net investment income, net
realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in
accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
Preferred Shares
The Funds have issued and outstanding Preferred shares, $25,000 stated value per
share, as a means of effecting financial leverage. Each Fund's Preferred shares
are issued in one or more Series. The dividend rate paid by the Funds on each
Series is determined every seven days, pursuant to a dutch auction process
overseen by the auction agent, and is payable at the end of each rate period.
The number of Preferred shares outstanding, by Series and in total, for each
Fund is as follows:

================================================================================
Beginning in February 2008, more shares for sale were submitted in the regularly
scheduled auctions for the Preferred shares issued by the Funds than there were
offers to buy. This meant that these auctions "failed to clear," and that many
Preferred shareholders who wanted to sell their shares in these auctions were
unable to do so. Preferred shareholders unable to sell their shares received
distributions at the "maximum rate" applicable to failed auctions as calculated
in accordance with the pre-established terms of the Preferred shares.
These developments generally do not affect the management or investment policies
of the Funds. However, one implication of these auction failures for Common
shareholders is that the Funds' cost of leverage will likely be higher, at least
temporarily, than it otherwise would have been had the auctions continued to be
successful. As a result, the Funds' future Common share earnings may be lower
than they otherwise would have been.
On June 11, 2008, Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen") announced the Fund Board's
approval of plans to use tender option bonds (TOBs), also known as floating rate
securities, to refinance a portion of the municipal funds' outstanding
auction-rate preferred securities, whose auctions have been failing for several
months, including an initial phase of approximately $1 billion in forty-one
funds. On June 26, 2008, thirteen municipal funds (none of which are included in
this shareholder report) issued par redemption notices for a portion of their
auction-rate securities aggregating approximately $580 million.
Inverse Floating Rate Securities
Each Fund is authorized to invest in inverse floating rate securities. An
inverse floating rate security is created by depositing a municipal bond,
typically with a fixed interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a
broker-dealer. In turn, this trust (a) issues floating rate certificates, in
face amounts equal to some fraction of the deposited bond's par amount or market
value, that typically pay short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties,
and (b) issues to a long-term investor (such as one of the Funds) an inverse
floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an "inverse floater") that
represents all remaining or residual interest in the trust. The income received
by the inverse floater holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to
the floating rate certificates' holders, and in most circumstances the inverse
floater holder bears substantially all of the underlying bond's downside
investment risk and also benefits disproportionately from any potential
appreciation of the underlying bond's value. The price of an inverse floating
rate security will be more volatile than that of the underlying bond because the
interest rate is dependent on not only the fixed coupon rate of the underlying
bond but also on the short-term interest paid on the floating rate certificates,
and because the inverse floating rate security essentially bears the risk of
loss of the greater face value of the underlying bond.
A Fund may purchase an inverse floating rate security in a secondary market
transaction without first owning the underlying bond (referred to as an
"externally-deposited inverse floater"), or instead by first selling a
fixed-rate bond to a broker-dealer for deposit into the special purpose trust
and receiving in turn the residual interest in the trust (referred to as a
"self-deposited inverse floater"). A Fund may also enter into shortfall and
forbearance agreements (sometimes referred to as a "recourse trust" or "credit
recovery
66
swap") with a broker-dealer by which a Fund agrees to reimburse the
broker-dealer, in certain circumstances, for the difference between the
liquidation value of the fixed-rate bond held by the trust and the liquidation
value of the floating rate certificates, as well as any shortfalls in interest
cash flows. The inverse floater held by a Fund gives the Fund the right (a) to
cause the holders of the floating rate certificates to tender their notes at
par, and (b) to have the broker transfer the fixed-rate bond held by the trust
to the Fund, thereby collapsing the trust. An investment in an
externally-deposited inverse floater is identified in the Portfolio of
Investments as an "Inverse floating rate investment". An investment in a
self-deposited inverse floater, recourse trust or credit recovery swap is
accounted for as a financing transaction in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 140 "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities". In such
instances, a fixed-rate bond deposited into a special purpose trust is
identified in the Portfolio of Investments as an "Underlying bond of an inverse
floating rate trust", with the Fund accounting for the short-term floating rate
certificates issued by the trust as "Floating rate obligations" on the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Fund reflects in Investment Income
the entire earnings of the underlying bond and accounts for the related interest
paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates as "Interest
expense on floating rate obligations" on the Statement of Operations.
During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008, each Fund invested in externally
deposited inverse floaters and/or self-deposited inverse floaters.
The average floating rate obligations outstanding and average annual interest
rate and fees related to self-deposited inverse floaters during the fiscal year
ended July 31, 2008, were as follows:

=================================================================================================================================
Forward Swap Transactions
Each Fund is authorized to invest in forward interest rate swap transactions.
Each Fund's use of forward interest rate swap transactions is intended to help
the Fund manage its overall interest rate sensitivity, either shorter or longer,
generally to more closely align the Fund's interest rate sensitivity with that
of the broader municipal market. Forward interest rate swap transactions involve
each Fund's agreement with a counterparty to pay, in the future, a fixed or
variable rate payment in exchange for the counterparty paying the Fund a
variable or fixed rate payment, the accruals for which would begin at a
specified date in the future (the "effective date"). The amount of the payment
obligation is based on the notional amount of the forward swap contract and the
termination date of the swap (which is akin to a bond's maturity). The value of
the Fund's swap commitment would increase or decrease based primarily on the
extent to which long-term interest rates for bonds having a maturity of the
swap's termination date increases or decreases. The Funds may terminate a swap
contract prior to the effective date, at which point a realized gain or loss is
recognized. When a forward swap is terminated, it ordinarily does not involve
the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal, but rather
is settled in cash on a net basis. Each Fund intends, but is not obligated, to
terminate its forward swaps before the effective date. Accordingly, the risk of
loss with respect to the swap counterparty on such transactions is limited to
the credit risk associated with a counterparty failing to honor its commitment
to pay any realized gain to the Fund upon termination. To reduce such credit
risk, all counterparties are required to pledge collateral daily (based on the
daily valuation of each swap) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately
equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold.
Reciprocally, when any of the Funds have an unrealized loss on a swap contract,
the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as
collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss
above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and
subsequently adjusted if and when the swap valuations fluctuate, either up or
down, by at least the predetermined threshold amount. Michigan Quality Income
(NUM) and Michigan Dividend Advantage (NZW) were the only Funds that did not
invest in forward interest rate swap transactions during the fiscal year ended
July 31, 2008.
Futures Contracts
Each Fund is authorized to invest in futures contracts. Upon entering into a
futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with the broker an amount of
cash or liquid securities equal to a specified percentage of the contract
amount. This is known as the "initial margin." Subsequent payments ("variation
margin") are made or received by a Fund each day, depending on the daily
fluctuation of the value of the contract.
67
Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the
contract are recognized as an unrealized gain or loss by "marking-to-market" on
a daily basis to reflect the changes in market value of the contract. When the
contract is closed or expired, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to
the difference between the value of the contract on the closing date and value
of the contract when originally entered into. Cash held by the broker to cover
initial margin requirements on open futures contracts, if any, is recognized on
the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Additionally, the Statement of Assets
and Liabilities reflects a receivable or payable for the variation margin when
applicable. Michigan Quality Income (NUM) and Michigan Dividend Advantage (NZW)
were the only Funds that did not invest in futures contracts during the fiscal
year ended July 31, 2008.
Risks of investments in futures contracts include the possible adverse movement
of the securities or indices underlying the contracts, the possibility that
there may not be a liquid secondary market for the contracts and/or that a
change in the value of the contract may not correlate with a change in the value
of the underlying securities or indices.
Zero Coupon Securities
Each Fund is authorized to invest in zero coupon securities. A zero coupon
security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life
of the security. Tax-exempt income to the holder of the security comes from
accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security
at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively
paid at maturity. Such securities are included in the Portfolios of Investments
with a 0.000% coupon rate in their description. The market prices of zero coupon
securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that
pay interest periodically.
Custodian Fee Credit
Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian
fees and expenses are reduced by net credits earned on each Fund's cash on
deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight
investments. Credits for cash balances may be offset by charges for any days on
which a Fund overdraws its account at the custodian bank.
Indemnifications
Under the Funds' organizational documents, their Officers and Directors/Trustees
are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of
their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the
Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other
parties. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this
would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet
occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to
these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and
decreases in net assets applicable to Common shares from operations during the
reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
2. FUND SHARES
Common Share Repurchases
On July 30, 2008, the Board of Directors/Trustees for each of Nuveen's 120
closed-end funds approved a program under which each fund may repurchase up to
10% of its common shares. No common shares were repurchased during the fiscal
year ended July 31, 2008.

4. INCOME TAX INFORMATION
The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences
between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are
primarily due to timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount,
timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment
transactions and the treatment of investments in inverse floating rate
transactions subject to SFAS No.140. To the extent that differences arise that
are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital
accounts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities presented in the annual
report, based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not
require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences do not impact the
net asset values of the Funds.

5. MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Each Fund's management fee is separated into two components - a complex-level
component, based on the aggregate amount of all fund assets managed by Nuveen
Asset Management (the "Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen, and a
specific fund-level component, based only on the amount of assets within each
individual Fund. This pricing structure enables Nuveen fund shareholders to
benefit from growth in the assets within each individual fund as well as from
growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.
The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is based upon the
average daily net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares)
of each Fund as follows:
MICHIGAN QUALITY INCOME (NUM)
AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS MICHIGAN PREMIUM INCOME (NMP)
(INCLUDING NET ASSETS OHIO QUALITY INCOME (NUO)

The annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, which is additive to the
fund-level fee, for all Nuveen sponsored funds in the U.S., is based on the
aggregate amount of total fund assets managed as stated in the tables below. As
of July 31, 2008, the complex-level fee rate was .1878%.

(1) The complex-level fee component of the management fee for the funds is
calculated based upon the aggregate Managed Assets ("Managed Assets" means
the average daily net assets of each fund including assets attributable to
preferred stock issued by or borrowings by the Nuveen funds) of Nuveen
sponsored funds in the U.S.
The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and
administrative services and general office facilities. The Funds pay no
compensation directly to those of its Directors/Trustees who are affiliated with
the Adviser or to its Officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their
services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of
Directors/Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent
Directors/Trustees that enables Directors/Trustees to elect to defer receipt of
all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from
certain Nuveen advised funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as
though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen advised
funds.

Agreement and Plan of Merger
On June 20, 2007, Nuveen announced that it had entered into a definitive
Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") with Windy City Investments,
Inc. ("Windy City"), a corporation formed by investors led by Madison Dearborn
Partners, LLC ("Madison Dearborn"), pursuant to which Windy City would acquire
Nuveen. Madison Dearborn is a private equity investment firm based in Chicago,
Illinois. The merger was consummated on November 13, 2007.
The consummation of the merger was deemed to be an "assignment" (as that term is
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the investment management
agreement between each Fund and the Adviser, and resulted in the automatic
termination of each Fund's agreement. The Board of Directors/Trustees of each
Fund considered and approved a new investment management agreement with the
Adviser on the same terms as the previous agreements. Each new ongoing
investment management agreement, was approved by the shareholders of each Fund
and took effect on November 13, 2007.
The investors led by Madison Dearborn includes an affiliate of Merrill Lynch. As
a result, Merrill Lynch is an indirect "affiliated person" (as that term is
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of each Fund. Certain conflicts
of interest may arise as a result of such indirect affiliation. For example, the
Funds are generally prohibited from entering into principal transactions with
Merrill Lynch and its affiliates. The Adviser does not believe that any such
prohibitions or limitations as a result of Merrill Lynch's affiliation will
significantly impact the ability of the Funds to pursue their investment
objectives and policies.
6. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 157
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." This
standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a
framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about
fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already
required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007,
and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current generally
accepted accounting principles from the application of this standard relate to
the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the
expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. As of July 31, 2008,
management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the
financial statement amounts; however, additional disclosures may be required
about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of
the measurements included within the Statement of Operations for the period.
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 161
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." This standard is intended to enhance
financial statement disclosures for derivative instruments and hedging
activities and enable investors to understand: a) how and why a fund uses
derivative instruments, b) how derivative instruments and related hedge items
are accounted for, and c) how derivative instruments and related hedge items
affect a fund's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. SFAS
No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. As of July 31, 2008,
management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will impact the
financial statement amounts; however, additional footnote disclosures may be
required about the use of derivative instruments and hedging items.

* Total Return Based on Market Value is the combination of changes in the
market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and
reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid
per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the
period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following
month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual
reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place
over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market
price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price
used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
Total Return Based on Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of
changes in Common share net asset value, reinvested dividend income at net
asset value and reinvested capital gains distributions at net asset value,
if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid
on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be
reinvested at the ending net asset value. The actual reinvest price for the
last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund's
market price (and not its net asset value), and therefore may be different
from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
** After custodian fee credit and expense reimbursement, where applicable.
+ The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.
++ Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Preferred
shareholders; income ratios reflect income earned on assets attributable to
Preferred shares.
(a) Interest expense arises from the application of SFAS No. 140 to certain
inverse floating rate transactions entered into by the Fund as more fully
described in Footnote 1 - Inverse Floating Rate Securities.

* Total Return Based on Market Value is the combination of changes in the
market price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and
reinvested capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid
per share at the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the
period, which is typically paid on the first business day of the following
month, is assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual
reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place
over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market
price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price
used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
Total Return Based on Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of
changes in Common share net asset value, reinvested dividend income at net
asset value and reinvested capital gains distributions at net asset value,
if any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid
on the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be
reinvested at the ending net asset value. The actual reinvest price for the
last dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund's
market price (and not its net asset value), and therefore may be different
from the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
** After custodian fee credit and expense reimbursement, where applicable.
+ The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.
++ Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Preferred
shareholders; income ratios reflect income earned on assets attributable to
Preferred shares.
(a) Interest expense arises from the application of SFAS No. 140 to certain
inverse floating rate transactions entered into by the Fund as more fully
described in Footnote 1 - Inverse Floating Rate Securities.

(1) Board Members serve three year terms, except for two board members who are
elected by the holders of Preferred Shares. The Board of Trustees is
divided into three classes, Class I, Class II, and Class III, with each
being elected to serve until the third succeeding annual shareholders'
meeting subsequent to its election or thereafter in each case when its
respective successors are duly elected or appointed, except two board
members are elected by the holders of Preferred Shares to serve until the
next annual shareholders' meeting subsequent to its election or thereafter
in each case when its respective successors are duly elected or appointed.
The first year elected or appointed represents the year in which the board

Annual Investment
Management Agreement
APPROVAL PROCESS
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), provides, in
substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its
investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its
continuance is approved at least annually by the fund's board members, including
by a vote of a majority of the board members who are not parties to the advisory
agreement or "interested persons" of any parties (the "Independent Board
Members"), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering
such approval. In connection with such approvals, the fund's board members must
request and evaluate, and the investment adviser is required to furnish, such
information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the advisory
agreement. Accordingly, at a meeting held on May 28-29, 2008 (the "May
Meeting"), the Boards of Trustees or Directors (as the case may be)(each, a
"Board" and each Trustee or Director, a "Board Member") of the Funds, including
a majority of the Independent Board Members, considered and approved the
continuation of the advisory agreement (each, an "Advisory Agreement") between
each Fund and Nuveen Asset Management ("NAM") for an additional one-year period.
In preparation for their considerations at the May Meeting, the Board also held
a separate meeting on April 23, 2008 (the "April Meeting"). Accordingly, the
factors considered and determinations made regarding the renewals by the
Independent Board Members include those made at the April Meeting.
In addition, in evaluating the Advisory Agreements, as described in further
detail below, the Independent Board Members reviewed a broad range of
information relating to the Funds and NAM, including absolute performance, fee
and expense information for the Funds as well as comparative performance, fee
and expense information for a comparable peer group of funds, the performance
information of recognized benchmarks (as applicable), the profitability of
Nuveen for its advisory activities (which includes its wholly owned
subsidiaries), and other information regarding the organization, personnel, and
services provided by NAM. The Independent Board Members also met quarterly as
well as at other times as the need arose during the year and took into account
the information provided at such meetings and the knowledge gained therefrom.
Prior to approving the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board
Members reviewed the foregoing information with their independent legal counsel
and with management, reviewed materials from independent legal counsel
describing applicable law and their duties in reviewing advisory contracts, and
met with independent legal counsel in private sessions without management
present. The Independent Board Members considered the legal advice provided by
independent legal counsel and relied upon their knowledge of NAM, its services
and the Funds resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout
the year and their own business judgment in determining the factors to be
considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreements. Each Board Member may have
accorded different weight to the various factors in reaching his or her
conclusions with respect to a Fund's Advisory Agreement. The Independent Board
Members did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling. The
Independent Board Members' considerations were instead based on a comprehensive
consideration of all the information presented. The principal factors considered
by the Board and its conclusions are described below.
88
A. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES
In considering renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Independent Board Members
considered the nature, extent and quality of NAM's services, including advisory
services and administrative services. The Independent Board Members reviewed
materials outlining, among other things, NAM's organization and business; the
types of services that NAM or its affiliates provide and are expected to provide
to the Funds; the performance record of the applicable Fund (as described in
further detail below); and any initiatives Nuveen had taken for the applicable
fund product line. With respect to personnel, the Independent Board Members
evaluated the background, experience and track record of NAM's investment
personnel. In this regard, the Independent Board Members considered the
additional investment in personnel to support Nuveen fund advisory activities,
including in operations, product management and marketing as well as related
fund support functions, including sales, executive, finance, human resources and
information technology. The Independent Board Members also reviewed information
regarding portfolio manager compensation arrangements to evaluate NAM's ability
to attract and retain high quality investment personnel.
In evaluating the services of NAM, the Independent Board Members also considered
NAM's ability to supervise the Funds' other service providers and given the
importance of compliance, NAM's compliance program. Among other things, the
Independent Board Members considered the report of the chief compliance officer
regarding the Funds' compliance policies and procedures.
In addition to advisory services, the Independent Board Members considered the
quality of administrative services provided by NAM and its affiliates including
product management, fund administration, oversight of service providers,
shareholder services, administration of Board relations, regulatory and
portfolio compliance and legal support.
In addition to the foregoing services, the Independent Board Members also noted
the additional services that NAM or its affiliates provide to closed-end funds,
including, in particular, its secondary market support activities and the costs
of such activities. The Independent Board Members recognized Nuveen's continued
commitment to supporting the secondary market for the common shares of its
closed-end funds through a variety of programs designed to raise investor and
analyst awareness and understanding of closed-end funds. These efforts include
maintaining an investor relations program to timely provide information and
education to financial advisers and investors; providing advertising and
marketing for the closed-end funds; maintaining its closed-end fund website; and
providing educational seminars. With respect to closed-end funds that utilize
leverage through the issuance of auction rate preferred securities ("ARPS"), the
Board has recognized the unprecedented market conditions in the auction rate
market industry with the failure of the auction process. The Independent Board
Members noted Nuveen's efforts and the resources and personnel employed to
analyze the situation, explore potential alternatives and develop and implement
solutions that serve the interests of the affected funds and all of their
respective shareholders. The Independent Board Members further noted Nuveen's
commitment and efforts to keep investors and financial advisers informed as to
its progress in addressing the ARPS situation through, among other things,
conference calls, press releases, and information posted on its website as well
as its refinancing activities. The Independent Board Members also noted Nuveen's
continued support for holders of preferred shares of its closed-end funds by,
among other things, seeking distribution for preferred shares with new market
participants, managing relations with remarketing agents and the broker
community, maintaining the leverage and risk management of leverage and
maintaining systems necessary to test compliance with rating agency criteria.
89
ANNUAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
APPROVAL PROCESS (continued)
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members found that, overall, the
nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to
the respective Funds under the Advisory Agreements were satisfactory.
B. THE INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS AND NAM
The Board considered the investment performance of each Fund, including the
Fund's historic performance as well as its performance compared to funds with
similar investment objectives (the "Performance Peer Group") based on data
provided by an independent third party (as described below). The Independent
Board Members also reviewed portfolio level performance (which does not reflect
fund level fees, expenses and leverage), as described in further detail below.
In evaluating the performance information, the Board considered whether the Fund
has operated within its investment objectives and parameters and the impact that
the investment mandates may have had on performance. In addition, in comparing a
Fund's performance with that of its Performance Peer Group, the Independent
Board Members took into account that the closest Performance Peer Group in
certain instances may not adequately reflect the respective fund's investment
objectives and strategies thereby hindering a meaningful comparison of the
fund's performance with that of the Performance Peer Group.
The Independent Board Members also recognized that certain funds lack comparable
peers in which case their performance is measured against a more general
municipal category for various states. The closed-end municipal funds that do
not have corresponding state-specific Performance Peer Groups are from states
other than New York, California, Florida, New Jersey, Michigan, and
Pennsylvania.
The Independent Board Members reviewed performance information including, among
other things, total return information compared with the Fund's Performance Peer
Group and recognized benchmarks for the one-, three- and five-year periods (as
applicable) ending December 31, 2007 and with the Performance Peer Group for the
quarter and same yearly periods ending March 31, 2008 (as applicable). The
Independent Board Members also reviewed the Fund's portfolio level performance
(which does not reflect fund level fees and expenses (and leverage for
closed-end funds)) compared to recognized benchmarks for the one- three, and
five-year periods ending December 31, 2007 (as applicable). The analysis was
used to assess the efficacy of investment decisions against appropriate measures
of risk and total return, within specific market segments. This information
supplemented the Fund performance information provided to the Board at each of
its quarterly meetings. Based on their review, the Independent Board Members
determined that each Fund's investment performance over time had been
satisfactory.
C. FEES, EXPENSES AND PROFITABILITY
1. FEES AND EXPENSES
The Board evaluated the management fees and expenses of each Fund
reviewing, among other things, such Fund's gross management fees
(which take into account breakpoints), net management fees (which take
into account fee waivers or reimbursements) and total expense ratios
(before and after expense reimbursements and/or waivers) in absolute
terms as well as compared to the gross management fees, net management
fees (after waivers and/or reimbursements) and total expense ratios
(before and after waivers) of a comparable universe of unaffiliated
funds based on data provided by an independent data provider (the
"Peer Universe") and/or a more focused subset of funds therein (the
"Peer Group"). The
90
Independent Board Members further reviewed data regarding the
construction of Peer Groups as well as the methods of measurement for
the fee and expense analysis and the performance analysis. In
reviewing the comparisons of fee and expense information, the
Independent Board Members took into account that in certain instances
various factors such as the size of the Fund relative to peers, the
size and particular composition of the Peer Group, the investment
objectives of the peers, expense anomalies, and the timing of
information used may impact the comparative data, thereby limiting the
ability to make a meaningful comparison. The Independent Board Members
also considered, among other things, the differences in the use of
leverage and the differences in the use of insurance as well as the
states reflected in a respective Peer Group for the state municipal
funds (such as the use of a general "other states" category for
closed-end state funds (other than New York and California)). In
reviewing the fee schedule for a Fund, the Independent Board Members
also considered the fund-level and complex-wide breakpoint schedules
(described in further detail below) and any fee waivers and
reimbursements provided by Nuveen (applicable, in particular, for
certain closed-end funds launched since 1999). Based on their review
of the fee and expense information provided, the Independent Board
Members determined that each Fund's management fees and net total
expense ratio were reasonable in light of the nature, extent and
quality of services provided to the Fund.
2. COMPARISONS WITH THE FEES OF OTHER CLIENTS
The Independent Board Members further reviewed information regarding
the nature of services and fee rates offered by NAM to other clients.
Such other clients include NAM's municipal separately managed
accounts. In evaluating the comparisons of fees, the Independent Board
Members noted that the fee rates charged to the Funds and other
clients vary, among other things, because of the different services
involved and the additional regulatory and compliance requirements
associated with registered investment companies, such as the Funds.
Accordingly, the Independent Board Members considered the differences
in the product types, including, but not limited to, the services
provided, the structure and operations, product distribution and costs
thereof, portfolio investment policies, investor profiles, account
sizes and regulatory requirements. The Independent Board Members
noted, in particular, that the range of services provided to the Funds
(as discussed above) is much more extensive than that provided to
separately managed accounts. Given the inherent differences in the
products, particularly the extensive services provided to the Funds,
the Independent Board Members believe such facts justify the different
levels of fees.
3. PROFITABILITY OF NUVEEN
In conjunction with its review of fees, the Independent Board Members
also considered the profitability of Nuveen for its advisory
activities (which incorporated Nuveen's wholly-owned affiliated
sub-advisers) and its financial condition. The Independent Board
Members reviewed the revenues and expenses of Nuveen's advisory
activities for the last two years and the allocation methodology used
in preparing the profitability data. The Independent Board Members
noted this information supplemented the profitability information
requested and received during the year to help keep them apprised of
developments affecting profitability (such as changes in fee waivers
and expense reimbursement commitments). In this regard, the
Independent Board Members noted that they had also appointed an
Independent Board Member as a point person to review and keep them
apprised of changes to the profitability analysis and/or methodologies
during the year. The Independent Board Members considered Nuveen's
profitability compared with other fund sponsors prepared by two
independent third party service providers as well as comparisons of
the revenues, expenses and profit margins of various unaffiliated
management firms with similar amounts of assets under management
prepared by Nuveen.
91
ANNUAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
APPROVAL PROCESS (continued)
In reviewing profitability, the Independent Board Members recognized
the subjective nature of determining profitability which may be
affected by numerous factors including the allocation of expenses.
Further, the Independent Board Members recognized the difficulties in
making comparisons as the profitability of other advisers generally is
not publicly available and the profitability information that is
available for certain advisers or management firms may not be
representative of the industry and may be affected by, among other
things, the adviser's particular business mix, capital costs, types of
funds managed and expense allocations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Independent Board Members reviewed Nuveen's
methodology and assumptions for allocating expenses across product lines to
determine profitability. In reviewing profitability, the Independent Board
Members recognized Nuveeninvestment in its fund business.
Based on its review, the Independent Board Members concluded that Nuveen's level
of profitability for its advisory activities was reasonable in light of the
services provided.
In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Independent Board
Members also considered other amounts paid to NAM by the Funds as well as any
indirect benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements, if any) NAM and its
affiliates receive, or are expected to receive, that are directly attributable
to the management of the Funds, if any. See Section E below for additional
information on indirect benefits NAM may receive as a result of its relationship
with the Funds. Based on their review of the overall fee arrangements of each
Fund, the Independent Board Members determined that the advisory fees and
expenses of the respective Fund were reasonable.
D. ECONOMIES OF SCALE AND WHETHER FEE LEVELS REFLECT THESE ECONOMIES OF SCALE
With respect to economies of scale, the Independent Board Members recognized the
potential benefits resulting from the costs of a fund being spread over a larger
asset base. The Independent Board Members therefore considered whether the Funds
have appropriately benefited from any economies of scale and whether there is
potential realization of any further economies of scale. In considering
economies of scale, the Independent Board Members have recognized that economies
of scale are difficult to measure and predict with precision, particularly on a
fund-by-fund basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, one method to help ensure the
shareholders share in these benefits is to include breakpoints in the advisory
fee schedule. Accordingly, the Independent Board Members reviewed and considered
the fund-level breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules that reduce advisory
fees. In this regard, given that the Funds are closed-end funds, the Independent
Board Members recognized that although the Funds may from time to time make
additional share offerings, the growth in their assets will occur primarily
through appreciation of each Fund's investment portfolio.
In addition to fund-level advisory fee breakpoints, the Board also considered
the Funds' complex-wide fee arrangement. Pursuant to the complex-wide fee
arrangement, the fees of the funds in the Nuveen complex, including the Funds,
are reduced as the assets in the fund complex reach certain levels. In
evaluating the complex-wide fee arrangement, the Independent Board Members
recognized that the complex-wide fee schedule was recently revised in 2007 to
provide for additional fee savings to shareholders and considered the amended
schedule. The Independent Board Members further considered that the complex-wide
fee arrangement seeks to provide the benefits of economies of scale to fund
shareholders when total fund
92
complex assets increase, even if assets of a particular fund are unchanged or
have decreased. The approach reflects the notion that some of Nuveen's costs are
attributable to services provided to all its funds in the complex and therefore
all funds benefit if these costs are spread over a larger asset base. Based on
their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that the breakpoint
schedule and complex-wide fee arrangement were acceptable and desirable in
providing benefits from economies of scale to shareholders.
E. INDIRECT BENEFITS
In evaluating fees, the Independent Board Members received and considered
information regarding potential "fall out" or ancillary benefits NAM or its
affiliates may receive as a result of its relationship with each Fund. In this
regard, the Independent Board Members considered revenues received by affiliates
of NAM for serving as agent at Nuveen's preferred trading desk and for serving
as a co-manager in the initial public offering of new closed-end exchange traded
funds.
In addition to the above, the Independent Board Members considered whether NAM
received any benefits from soft dollar arrangements whereby a portion of the
commissions paid by a Fund for brokerage may be used to acquire research that
may be useful to NAM in managing the assets of the Funds and other clients. The
Independent Board Members noted that NAM does not currently have any soft dollar
arrangements; however, to the extent certain bona fide agency transactions that
occur on markets that traditionally trade on a principal basis and riskless
principal transactions are considered as generating "commissions," NAM intends
to comply with the applicable safe harbor provisions.
Based on their review, the Independent Board Members concluded that any indirect
benefits received by NAM as a result of its relationship with the Funds were
reasonable and within acceptable parameters.
F. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
The Independent Board Members did not identify any single factor discussed
previously as all-important or controlling. The Board Members, including the
Independent Board Members, unanimously concluded that the terms of the Advisory
Agreements are fair and reasonable, that NAM's fees are reasonable in light of
the services provided to each Fund and that the Advisory Agreements be renewed.

Reinvest Automatically
EASILY and CONVENIENTLY
NUVEEN MAKES REINVESTING EASY. A PHONE CALL IS ALL IT TAKES TO SET UP YOUR
REINVESTMENT ACCOUNT.
NUVEEN CLOSED-END FUNDS DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
Your Nuveen Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest dividends and/or
capital gains distributions in additional Fund shares.
By choosing to reinvest, you'll be able to invest money regularly and
automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of tax-free
compounding. Just like dividends or distributions in cash, there may be times
when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on dividends or distributions
that are reinvested.
It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a
profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market.
EASY AND CONVENIENT
To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you'll receive a statement
showing your total dividends and distributions, the date of investment, the
shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own.
HOW SHARES ARE PURCHASED
The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open
market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net
asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the
greater of the net asset value or 95% of the then-current market price. If the
shares are trading at less than net asset value, shares for your account will be
purchased on the open market. If the Plan Agent begins purchasing Fund shares on
the open market while shares are trading below net asset value, but the Fund's
shares subsequently trade at or above their net asset value before the Plan
Agent is able to complete its purchases, the Plan Agent may cease open-market
purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the distribution in
newly-issued Fund shares at a price equal to the greater of the shares' net
asset value or 95% of the shares' market value on the last business day
immediately prior to the purchase date. Dividends and distributions received to
purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the
dividend payment date. No interest will be paid on dividends and distributions
awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of the shares may increase
before purchases are completed, the average purchase price per share may exceed
the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the acquisition of fewer
shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid in shares issued by
the Fund. A pro rata portion of any applicable brokerage commissions on open
market purchases will be paid by Plan participants. These commissions usually
will be lower than those charged on individual transactions.
94
FLEXIBLE
You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time,
should your needs or situation change. Should you withdraw, you can receive a
certificate for all whole shares credited to your reinvestment account and cash
payment for fractional shares, or cash payment for all reinvestment account
shares, less brokerage commissions and a $2.50 service fee.
You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name
of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his
or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are
registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to
another firm and continue to participate in the Plan.
The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although
the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge
payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants
in the Plan at this time.

Glossary of
TERMS USED in this REPORT
[] AUCTION RATE BOND: An auction rate bond is a security whose interest
payments are adjusted periodically through an auction process, which
process typically also serves as a means for buying and selling the bond.
Auctions that fail to attract enough buyers for all the shares offered for
sale are deemed to have "failed", with current holders receiving a
formula-based interest rate until the next scheduled auction.
[] AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN: This is a commonly used method to express an
investment's performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period.
It expresses the return that would have been necessary each year to equal
the investment's actual cumulative performance (including change in common
share NAV or market price and reinvested dividends and capital gains
distributions, if any) over the time period being considered.
[] AVERAGE EFFECTIVE MATURITY: The average of the number of years to maturity
of the bonds in a Fund's portfolio, computed by weighting each bond's time
to maturity (the date the security comes due) by the market value of the
security. This figure does not account for the likelihood of prepayments or
the exercise of call provisions unless an escrow account has been
established to redeem the bond before maturity. The market value weighting
for an investment in an inverse floating rate security is the value of the
portfolio's residual interest in the inverse floating rate trust, and does
not include the value of the floating rate securities issued by the trust.
[] INVERSE FLOATERS: Inverse floating rate securities are created by
depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a
special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. This trust, in turn, (a)
issues floating rate certificates typically paying short-term tax-exempt
interest rates to third parties in amounts equal to some fraction of the
deposited bond's par amount or market value, and (b) issues an inverse
floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an "inverse floater")
to an investor (such as a Fund) interested in gaining investment exposure
to a long-term municipal bond. The income received by the holder of the
inverse floater varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the
floating rate certificates' holders, and in most circumstances the holder
of the inverse floater bears substantially all of the underlying bond's
downside investment risk. The holder of the inverse floater typically also
benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the
underlying bond's value. Hence, an inverse floater essentially represents
an investment in the underlying bond on a leveraged basis.
[] LEVERAGE-ADJUSTED DURATION: Duration is a measure of the expected period
over which a bond's principal and interest will be paid, and consequently
is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond's or bond Fund's value to changes
when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond's or Fund's
duration, the more the price of the bond or Fund will change as interest
rates change. Leverage-adjusted duration takes into account the leveraging
process for a Fund and therefore is longer than the duration of the Fund's
portfolio of bonds.
[] MARKET YIELD (ALSO KNOWN AS DIVIDEND YIELD OR CURRENT YIELD): An
investment's current annualized dividend divided by its current market
price.
[] NET ASSET VALUE (NAV): A Fund's common share NAV per share is calculated by
subtracting the liabilities of the Fund (including any Preferred shares
issued in order to leverage the Fund) from its total assets and then
dividing the remainder by the number of shares outstanding. Fund NAVs are
calculated at the end of each business day.
[] TAXABLE-EQUIVALENT YIELD: The yield necessary from a fully taxable
investment to equal, on an after-tax basis, the yield of a municipal bond
investment.
[] ZERO COUPON BOND: A zero coupon bond does not pay a regular interest coupon
to its holders during the life of the bond. Tax-exempt income to the holder
of the bond comes from accretion of the difference between the original
purchase price of the bond at issuance and the par value of the bond at
maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero
coupon bonds generally are more volatile than the market prices of bonds
that pay interest periodically.

ITEM 2. CODE OF ETHICS.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the registrant has adopted a
code of ethics that applies to the registrant's principal executive officer,
principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or
persons performing similar functions. There were no amendments to or waivers
from the Code during the period covered by this report. The registrant has
posted the code of ethics on its website at www.nuveen.com/etf. (To view the
code, click on the Shareholder Resources drop down menu box, click on Fund

ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.
The registrant's Board of Directors or Trustees determined that the registrant
has at least one "audit committee financial expert" (as defined in Item 3 of
Form N-CSR) serving on its Audit Committee. The registrant's audit committee
financial expert is Jack B. Evans, who is "independent" for purposes of Item 3
of Form N-CSR.
Mr. Evans was formerly President and Chief Operating Officer of SCI Financial
Group, Inc., a full service registered broker-dealer and registered investment
adviser ("SCI"). As part of his role as President and Chief Operating Officer,
Mr. Evans actively supervised the Chief Financial Officer (the "CFO") and

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.
Nuveen Ohio Quality Income Municipal Fund, Inc.
The following tables show the amount of fees that Ernst & Young LLP, the Fund's
auditor, billed to the Fund during the Fund's last two full fiscal years. For
engagements with Ernst & Young LLP the Audit Committee approved in advance all
audit services and non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP provided to the
Fund, except for those non-audit services that were subject to the pre-approval
exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (the "pre-approval exception"). The
pre-approval exception for services provided directly to the Fund waives the
pre-approval requirement for services other than audit, review or attest
services if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes
no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the Fund to its
accountant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (B) the
Fund did not recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the
engagement; and (C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee's
attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the
audit is completed.
The Audit Committee has delegated certain pre-approval responsibilities to its
Chairman (or, in his absence, any other member of the Audit Committee).

The following tables show the amount of fees billed by Ernst & Young LLP to
Nuveen Asset Management ("NAM" or the "Adviser"), and any entity controlling,

engagements directly related to the Fund's operations and financial reporting,
during the Fund's last two full fiscal years.
The tables also show the percentage of fees subject to the pre-approval

any Affiliated Fund Service Provider (other than audit, review or attest
services) waives the pre-approval requirement if: (A) the aggregate amount of

would have to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee; (B) the Fund did not
recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and
(C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee's attention, and

NON-AUDIT SERVICES
The following table shows the amount of fees that Ernst & Young LLP billed
during the Fund's last two full fiscal years for non-audit services. The Audit
Committee is required to pre-approve non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP
provides to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Services Provider, if the
engagement related directly to the Fund's operations and financial reporting
(except for those subject to the de minimis exception described above). The
Audit Committee requested and received information from Ernst & Young LLP about
any non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP rendered during the Fund's last
fiscal year to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider. The
Committee considered this information in evaluating Ernst & Young LLP's
independence.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. Generally, the Audit
Committee must approve (i) all non-audit services to be performed for the Fund
by the Fund's independent accountants and (ii) all audit and non-audit services
to be performed by the Fund's independent accountants for the Affiliated Fund
Service Providers with respect to operations and financial reporting of the
Fund. Regarding tax and research projects conducted by the independent
accountants for the Fund and Affiliated Fund Service Providers (with respect to
operations and financial reports of the Fund) such engagements will be (i)
pre-approved by the Audit Committee if they are expected to be for amounts
greater than $10,000; (ii) reported to the Audit Committee chairman for his
verbal approval prior to engagement if they are expected to be for amounts under
$10,000 but greater than $5,000; and (iii) reported to the Audit Committee at
the next Audit Committee meeting if they are expected to be for an amount under
$5,000.
ITEM 5. AUDIT COMMITTEE OF LISTED REGISTRANTS.
The registrant's Board of Directors or Trustees has a separately designated
Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(58)(A)). The
members of the audit committee are Robert P. Bremner, Jack B. Evans,
William J. Schneider and David J. Kundert.
ITEM 6. SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS.
See Portfolio of Investments in Item 1.
ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END
MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.
The registrant invests its assets primarily in municipal bonds and cash
management securities. On rare occasions the registrant may acquire, directly or
through a special purpose vehicle, equity securities of a municipal bond issuer
whose bonds the registrant already owns when such bonds have deteriorated or are
expected shortly to deteriorate significantly in credit quality. The purpose of
acquiring equity securities generally will be to acquire control of the
municipal bond issuer and to seek to prevent the credit deterioration or
facilitate the liquidation or other workout of the distressed issuer's credit
problem. In the course of exercising control of a distressed municipal issuer,
NAM may pursue the registrant's interests in a variety of ways, which may entail
negotiating and executing consents, agreements and other arrangements, and
otherwise influencing the management of the issuer. NAM does not consider such
activities proxy voting for purposes of Rule 206(4)-6 under the 1940 Act, but
nevertheless provides reports to the registrant's Board of Trustees on its
control activities on a quarterly basis.
In the rare event that a municipal issuer were to issue a proxy or that the
registrant were to receive a proxy issued by a cash management security, NAM
would either engage an independent third party to determine how the proxy should
be voted or vote the proxy with the consent, or based on the instructions, of
the registrant's Board of Trustees or its representative. A member of NAM's
legal department would oversee the administration of the voting, and ensure that
records were maintained in accordance with Rule 206(4)-6, reports were filed
with the SEC on Form N-PX, and the results provided to the registrant's Board of
Trustees and made available to shareholders as required by applicable rules.
ITEM 8. PORTFOLIO MANAGERS OF CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.
THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER
The following individual has primary responsibility for the day-to-day
implementation of the registrant's investment strategies:
NAME FUND
Daniel J. Close Nuveen Ohio Quality Income Municipal Fund, Inc.
Other Accounts Managed. In addition to managing the registrant, the portfolio
manager is also primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of
the following accounts:
TYPE OF ACCOUNT NUMBER OF
PORTFOLIO MANAGER MANAGED ACCOUNTS ASSETS*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daniel J. Close Registered Investment Company 26 $4.875 billion
Other Pooled Investment Vehicles 1 $.45 million
Other Accounts 3 $.16 million
* Assets are as of July 31, 2008. None of the assets in these accounts are
subject to an advisory fee based on performance.
Compensation. Each portfolio manager's compensation consists of three basic
elements--base salary, cash bonus and long-term incentive compensation. The
compensation strategy is to annually compare overall compensation to the market
in order to create a compensation structure that is competitive and consistent
with similar financial services companies. As discussed below, several factors
are considered in determining each portfolio manager's total compensation. In
any year these factors may include, among others, the effectiveness of the
investment strategies recommended by the portfolio manager's investment team,
the investment performance of the accounts managed by the portfolio manager, and
the overall performance of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (the parent company of NAM).
Although investment performance is a factor in determining the portfolio
manager's compensation, it is not necessarily a decisive factor. The portfolio
manager's performance is evaluated in part by comparing manager's performance
against a specified investment benchmark. This fund-specific benchmark is a
customized subset (limited to bonds in each Fund's specific state and with
certain maturity parameters) of the S&P/Investortools Municipal Bond index, an
index comprised of bonds held by managed municipal bond fund customers of
Standard & Poor's Securities Pricing, Inc. that are priced daily and whose fund
holdings aggregate at least $2 million. As of August 31, 2008, the
S&P/Investortools Municipal Bond index was comprised of 52,711 securities with
an aggregate current market value of $1,041 billion.
Base salary. Each portfolio manager is paid a base salary that is set at a level
determined by NAM in accordance with its overall compensation strategy discussed
above. NAM is not under any current contractual obligation to increase a
portfolio manager's base salary.
Cash bonus. Each portfolio manager is also eligible to receive an annual cash
bonus. The level of this bonus is based upon evaluations and determinations made
by each portfolio manager's supervisors, along with reviews submitted by his
peers. These reviews and evaluations often take into account a number of
factors, including the effectiveness of the investment strategies recommended to
the NAM's investment team, the performance of the accounts for which he serves
as portfolio manager relative to any benchmarks established for those accounts,
his effectiveness in communicating investment performance to stockholders and
their representatives, and his contribution to the NAM's investment process and
to the execution of investment strategies. The cash bonus component is also
impacted by the overall performance of Nuveen Investments, Inc. in achieving its
business objectives.
Long-term incentive compensation. In connection with the acquisition of Nuveen
Investments, Inc., by a group of investors lead by Madison Dearborn Partners in
November 2007, certain employees, including portfolio managers, received profit
interests in Nuveen's parent. These profit interests entitle the holders to
participate in the appreciation in the value of Nuveen beyond the issue date and
vest over five to seven years, or earlier in the case of a liquidity event.
Material Conflicts of Interest. Each portfolio manager's simultaneous management
of the registrant and the other accounts noted above may present actual or
apparent conflicts of interest with respect to the allocation and aggregation of
securities orders placed on behalf of the Registrant and the other account. NAM,
however, believes that such potential conflicts are mitigated by the fact that
the NAM has adopted several policies that address potential conflicts of
interest, including best execution and trade allocation policies that are
designed to ensure (1) that portfolio management is seeking the best price for
portfolio securities under the circumstances, (2) fair and equitable allocation
of investment opportunities among accounts over time and (3) compliance with
applicable regulatory requirements. All accounts are to be treated in a
non-preferential manner, such that allocations are not based upon account
performance, fee structure or preference of the portfolio manager, although the
allocation procedures may provide allocation preferences to funds with special
characteristics (such as favoring state funds versus national funds for
allocations of in-state bonds). In addition, NAM has adopted a Code of Conduct
that sets forth policies regarding conflicts of interest.
Beneficial Ownership of Securities. As of July 31, 2008, the portfolio manager
beneficially owned the following dollar range of equity securities issued by the
Registrant and other Nuveen Funds managed by NAM's municipal investment team.
