LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
[PHOTO OF ROBERT P. BREMNER] | Robert P. Bremner | Chairman of the Board
Dear Shareholders,
I write this letter in a time of continued uncertainty about the current state
of the U.S. financial system and pessimism about the future of the global
economy. Many have observed that the conditions that led to the crisis have
built up over time and will complicate and extend the course of recovery. At the
same time, government officials in the U.S. and abroad have implemented a wide
range of programs to restore stability to the financial system and encourage
economic recovery. It is believed that these efforts will moderate the extent of
the downturn and hasten the inevitable recovery, even though it is hard to
envision that outcome in the current environment.
As you will read in this report, the continuing financial and economic problems
are weighing heavily on the values of equities and fixed-income assets and
unfortunately the performance of your Nuveen Fund has been similarly affected.
In addition to the financial statements, I hope that you will carefully review
the Portfolio Manager's Comments, the Common Share Dividend and Share Price
Information and the Performance Overview sections of this report and please note
this is a seven-month annual report. During the current fiscal year period, the
Board of Directors/Trustees approved a change in the Funds' fiscal and tax year
end from July 31 to February 28/29. These comments highlight the manager's
pursuit of investment strategies that depend on thoroughly researched
securities, diversified portfolio holdings and well established investment
disciplines to achieve your Fund's investment goals. The Fund Board believes
that a consistent focus on long-term investment goals provides the basis for
successful investment over time and we monitor your Fund with that objective in
mind.
Nuveen continues to work on resolving the issues related to the auction rate
preferred shares situation, but the unsettled conditions in the credit markets
have slowed progress. Nuveen is actively pursuing a number of 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 work through the many issues involved. Please
consult the Nuveen website: www.nuveen.com, for the most recent information.
On behalf of myself and the other members of your Fund's Board, 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
During the current fiscal period, the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Funds
approved a change in the Funds' fiscal and tax year end from July 31 to February
28/29.
Portfolio manager Daniel Close discusses economic and municipal market
conditions at both the national and state levels, key investment strategies, and
the performance of the Nuveen Michigan and Ohio Funds. Dan, who joined Nuveen in
2000, assumed portfolio management responsibility for these seven Funds in 2007.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE U.S. ECONOMIC AND MUNICIPAL MARKET ENVIRONMENTS DURING
THE SEVEN-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2009?
During this period, downward pressure on the economy continued and stress in the
financial and credit markets led to increased price volatility for most
securities, reduced liquidity and a general flight to quality. In an effort to
improve overall economic conditions, the Federal Reserve (Fed) cut the fed funds
target interest rate to between zero and 0.25%, its lowest level on record. (On
March 18, 2009, following the end of this reporting period, the Fed announced
that, in addition to maintaining the fed funds rate at its current level, it
would buy $300 billion in Treasury securities over the next six months in an
effort to improve conditions in private credit markets and up to an additional
$750 billion of agency mortgage-backed securities to bolster the housing
market.)
After declining at an annual rate of 0.5% in the third quarter of 2008, GDP
contracted at an annual rate of 6.2% in the fourth quarter of 2008, the weakest
performance since 1982. Signs of a deepening housing recession continued to
trouble the economy, with the price of a single-family home falling a record
18.2% in 2008. In the labor markets, February 2009 marked the fourteenth
consecutive month of job losses and the third straight month when employment
losses topped 600,000, the first such occurrence since records began in 1939.
The national unemployment rate for February 2009 was 8.1%, its highest point in
more than 25 years. Fortunately, inflation remained largely in check. The
Consumer Price Index (CPI), reflecting large drops in energy and transportation
prices, registered a 0.2% year-over-year gain in February 2009, while the core
CPI (which excludes food and energy) rose 1.8%. Both numbers were within the
Fed's unofficial objective of 2.0% or lower.
Beginning in October, the nation's financial institutions and financial
markets-- including the municipal bond market--experienced significant turmoil.

decreased valuations of municipal bonds across all credit ratings, especially
those with lower credit ratings, and this generally reduced the Funds' common
share net asset values. The municipal market is one in which dealer firms make
markets in bonds on a principal basis using their proprietary capital, and
during the recent market turmoil these firms' capital was severely constrained.
As a result, some firms were unwilling to commit their capital to purchase and
to serve as a dealer for municipal bonds. This reduction in dealer involvement
in the market was accompanied by significant net selling pressure by investors,
particularly with respect to lower-rated municipal bonds, as institutional
investors generally removed money from the municipal bond market, at least in
part because of their need to reduce the leveraging of their municipal
investments. This deleveraging was in part driven by the overall reduction in
the amount of financing available for such leverage, the increased costs of such
leverage financing, and the need to reduce leverage levels that had recently
increased due to the decline in municipal bond prices.
Municipal bond prices were further negatively impacted by concerns that the need
for further deleveraging and a supply overhang (a large amount of new issues
that were postponed) would cause selling pressure to persist for a period of
time. In addition to falling prices, the following market conditions resulted in
greater price volatility of municipal bonds - wider credit spreads (i.e., lower
quality bonds fell in price more than higher quality bonds); significantly
reduced liquidity (i.e., the ability to sell bonds at a price close to their
carrying value), particularly for lower quality bonds; and a lack of price
transparency (i.e., the ability to accurately determine the price at which a
bond would likely trade). Reduced liquidity was most pronounced in mid-October,
although it improved considerably after that period.
In the municipal bond market, performance over this period was significantly
impacted by concerns about the credit markets, downgrades of municipal bond
insurers, and institutional investors' need to unwind various leveraging
strategies. These events created surges of selling pressure, as many municipal
bond owners tried to sell holdings of longer-maturity bonds into a market
already experiencing a lack of liquidity. Combined with the Fed rate cuts, this
produced a steepening of the municipal yield curve. In this environment, bonds
with shorter maturities generally outperformed longer maturity bonds, and higher
quality bonds tended to outperform lower quality credits.
Over the seven months ended February 28, 2009, municipal bond issuance
nationwide totaled $174.5 billion, a drop of 16% compared with the seven-month
period ended February 29, 2008. While market conditions during this period
impacted the demand for municipal bonds, we continued to see demand from
investors attracted by higher interest rates and yields relative to taxable
bonds.

HOW WERE THE ECONOMIC AND MARKET ENVIRONMENTS IN MICHIGAN AND OHIO DURING THIS
PERIOD?
Michigan's state economy, which ranks as one of the weakest in the nation,
continued to worsen during this period, due to sharp cutbacks in auto
production, the deepening recession nationwide and mounting job losses. State
employment trends declined across all sectors except education/health services,
with construction, manufacturing and information services posting the biggest
drops. Despite the financial woes of the major U.S. automakers and the thousands
of jobs lost in recent years, manufacturing still accounts for 14.5% of
employment in Michigan, compared with 10% nationally. In February 2009,
Michigan's jobless rate was 12.0%, the highest state unemployment rate in the
nation and the highest level for the state in more than 25 years. In addition to
employment concerns, Michigan continued to experience declining housing prices
and a high foreclosure rate. According to the Standard & Poor's
(S&P)/Case-Shiller home price index of 20 major metropolitan areas, housing
prices in Detroit fell 21.7% in 2008, compared with an average decline of 18.2%
nationwide. Lower home values have forced downward revisions to revenue
estimates by state and local governments. Michigan could receive as much as $18
billion from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which amounts
to approximately 5% of its gross state product. The positive impact of this
money would likely be limited primarily to job retention, rather than job
creation, in 2009. Despite this, the state faces a projected budget shortfall of
$200 million for fiscal 2009. This gap is estimated to grow to as much as $1.5
billion in fiscal 2010. As of February 2009, Moody's, S&P and Fitch rated
Michigan general obligation debt at Aa3, AA-, and AA-, respectively. During the
seven months ended February 28, 2009, municipal issuance in Michigan totaled $3
billion, a decrease of 38% compared with the seven months ended February 29,
2008.
Although the Ohio economy has contracted steadily since mid-2006, continued job
losses and the national recession caused the state's economic decline to
intensify significantly during this period. Employment in Ohio has remained less
diversified than that of the nation as a whole, with heavier dependence on the
manufacturing sector, particularly the troubled auto industry, relative to the
national average. As of February 2009, Ohio's unemployment rate was 9.4%, the
highest since May 1984. The housing recession also continued to serve as a major
drag on the Ohio economy, with reduced home values negatively impacting consumer
and household spending. In February 2009, the foreclosure rate in Ohio was the
tenth highest in the nation. In the wake of growing job losses, slower consumer
spending, and weaker household balance sheets, state revenue collection has
deteriorated, particularly from non-auto sales and personal income taxes, the
state's largest tax sources. Ohio faces an estimated budget deficit of $7.3
billion in fiscal 2010-2011. As part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment
Act, Ohio expects to receive at least $8.2 billion and the state is counting on
$3.4 billion of that aid to cover part of its budget shortfall. As of February
2009, Moody's, S&P and Fitch rated Ohio general obligation debt at Aa1, AA+, and
AA+, respectively. For the
6
seven months ended February 28, 2009, municipal issuance in Ohio totaled $6.2
billion, a decrease of 42% compared with the seven months ended February 2008.
WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THE MICHIGAN AND OHIO FUNDS DURING THIS
REPORTING PERIOD?
During this seven-month period, we continued to focus on finding bonds that
offered relative value while seeking to preserve liquidity and invest for the
long term. Much of our investment activity was driven by the new issuance
municipal bond market, which provided opportunities to purchase bonds with
better structures (e.g., higher coupons, longer call protection) at attractive
prices. During periodic market dislocations, we found opportunities in various
sectors by using a fundamental approach to discover undervalued credits with the
potential to perform well over the long term. Many of the additions to our
portfolios were purchased at the longer end of the yield curve, which we
believed not only offered more value during this period, but also helped to
offset the natural shortening of the Funds' durations(1) and support and enhance
yields. In general, the bonds we purchased were uninsured, as the insurance
penetration of the new issuance municipal market declined dramatically during
2008 and early 2009.
During this period, all seven of these Funds purchased general obligation (GO)
bonds, including those issued for various school districts. In Michigan, our GO
purchases concentrated on the central and western parts of the state, as we
continued to de-emphasize issuers in the Detroit area. Dislocations in the
market, particularly during the last three months of 2008, provided
opportunities to add health care and tobacco credits that we believed
represented uncommon value to all of the Michigan and Ohio Funds, as well as
industrial development revenue bonds in the Ohio Funds. NUM and NMP also
purchased revenue bonds issued for Kent County airport and NXI added a tax
increment financing district credit.
To provide the liquidity we needed during this period, we sold pre-refunded(2)
bonds in the Michigan Funds and NBJ. In addition, we closed out our positions in
Detroit and Puerto Rico GOs across all of these Funds. In the Ohio Funds, the
proceeds from a substantial number of bond calls also supplied capital for
purchases.
Going into this period, all of the Michigan and Ohio Funds continued to use
inverse floating rate securities(3) as part of a disciplined approach to
duration management. Inverse floaters typically help to bring the Funds'
durations closer to our strategic target and to enhance their income-generation
capabilities. During this period, as previously described, we were able to
purchase longer maturity bonds offering attractive yields and better structures
that accomplished many of the same goals as the inverse floaters. This enabled
us to terminate the inverse floaters in the four Ohio Funds. However, the three
Michigan Funds continued to use inverse floaters as of February 28, 2009. NMP,
NUO, NXI, NBJ and NVJ also invested in additional types of derivatives(4) during
this period. The goal of this strategy was to help us manage net asset value
(NAV) volatility without having a negative impact on income streams or common
share dividends over the short term. As of February 28, 2009, all of these
derivatives had been removed.
----------
(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) Pre-refundings, also known as advance 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, also known as inverse floaters, 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 this reporting period, are
further defined within the Notes to Financial Statements and Glossary of Terms
Used in this Report sections of this shareholder report.
(4) Each Fund may invest in derivatives instruments such as forwards, futures,
option and swap transactions. For additional information on derivative
instruments in which each Fund was invested during and at the end of the
reporting period, see the Portfolio of Investments, Financial Statements and
Notes to Financial Statements sections of this shareholder report

For the seven months ended February 28, 2009, the cumulative returns on common
share NAV for all of the Michigan and Ohio Funds exceeded the average returns
for the Lipper Michigan Municipal Debt Funds Average and the Lipper Other States
Municipal Debt Funds Average, respectively. NUO, NXI and NVJ outperformed the
Standard & Poor's (S&P) National Municipal Bond Index, while NUM, NMP, NZW and
NBJ trailed this index for the seven-month period. All of the Funds
underperformed the national Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index. Shareholders
should note that the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index and the S&P National
Municipal Bond Index include bonds from other states in addition to Michigan and
Ohio, which may make direct comparisons between the Funds and these benchmarks
less meaningful.
Key management factors that influenced the Funds' returns during this period
included duration and yield curve positioning, the use of derivatives, credit
exposure, and sector allocations. In addition, the use of leverage was a
principal factor affecting each Fund's performance over this period. The impact
of leverage is discussed in more detail on page 11.
Over the course of this reporting period, the yield curve remained steep. Given
this interest rate environment, bonds in the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond
Index with maturities between two and eight years, especially those maturing in
approximately five years, benefited the most. Because they were less sensitive
to interest rate changes, these bonds generally outperformed credits with longer
maturities, with the biggest losses experienced by bonds with the longest
maturities (22 years and longer). While the Funds were relatively overweighted
in the underperforming longer part of the yield curve when compared with the
index, this was offset in NVJ by an over exposure to both the outperforming
shorter and intermediate parts of the yield curve. NUO, NXI and--to a lesser
extent--NUM and NMP also had good weightings in the intermediate area of the
curve. In general, NZW and NBJ were not as advantageously positioned in terms of
duration, particularly NBJ, which had less exposure to the short end of the
curve and greater exposure to the long end than the other Ohio Funds. This was a
factor in the underperformance of NZW and NBJ relative to the other Nuveen
Michigan and Ohio funds, respectively. Overall, duration positioning was a net
positive for the performances of NUO, NXI and NVJ and a comparative negative in
NUM, NMP, NZW and NBJ.
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
9
generally underperformed those with shorter durations, the use of these
derivatives had a positive impact on return performance, especially in NXI and
NVJ, which had greater derivative exposure. The positive impact was attributable
to the fact that these 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
well. On the other hand, the inverse floaters used by the Funds 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.
Credit exposure also was an important factor in performance. Because risk-averse
investors generally sought higher quality investments as disruptions in the
financial markets deepened, bonds with higher credit quality typically performed
very well. At the same time, securities rated BBB or below and non-rated bonds
generally posted poor returns. As of February 28, 2009, 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 14% to the lower credit
quality categories and non-rated bonds. Although lower-rated and non-rated bonds
accounted for approximately 12% to 13% of each of the Ohio Funds' portfolios,
NVJ's performance was boosted by its heavier exposure to bonds rated AAA, which
comprised more than half of its portfolio. We continue to believe that
lower-rated credits can offer attractive opportunities despite their generally
greater risks.
During this period, pre-refunded bonds, which are backed by U.S. Treasury
securities, were one of the top performing segments of the municipal market, due
primarily to their shorter effective maturities, higher credit quality and
perceived safety. Among these Funds, NUM, NXI and NVJ held the heaviest
weightings of pre-refunded bonds. Some of the Funds also saw positive
contributions from pre-refunded activity, which benefited them through price
appreciation and enhanced credit quality. Additional sectors of the market that
generally contributed to the Funds' returns included general obligation and
other tax-supported bonds, water and sewer, education, and housing credits,
particularly in Ohio where GNMA (Government National Mortgage Association)
housing bonds rated AAA and backed by the federal government performed well.
However, most of the Funds had lower weightings in tax-supported
10
bonds than the market as a whole, which lessened the positive contribution from
this sector.
Holdings that generally detracted from the Funds' performances included
Industrial Development Bonds (IDB) and health care (including continuing care
retirement community) bonds, which underperformed the overall municipal market,
posting negative returns for the period. Next to the IDB 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 impact of the poor performance of lower-rated tobacco bonds
was somewhat mitigated by the Funds' relatively low exposures, which ranged from
less than 1% of the Michigan Funds' portfolios to approximately 2% to 4% of the
Ohio Funds as of February 28, 2009.
IMPACT OF THE FUNDS' CAPITAL STRUCTURES AND LEVERAGE STRATEGIES ON PERFORMANCE
In this generally unfavorable investment environment, the most significant
factor impacting the return of these Funds relative to the comparative indexes
was the Funds' use of financial leverage. The Funds use leverage because their
managers believe that, over time, leveraging provides opportunities for
additional income and total returns for common shareholders. However, use of
leverage also can expose common shareholders to additional risk--especially when
market conditions are as unfavorable as they were during this period. As the
prices of many securities held by these Funds declined during the this time
period, the negative impact of these valuation changes on common share net asset
value and common shareholder total return was magnified by the use of leverage.
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, AGC, AMBAC,
FGIC, FSA, MBIA, RAAI and SYNCORA (formerly 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 except
AGC on "negative credit watch" or "credit watch developing," which may presage
one or more rating reductions for such insurer or insurers in the future. As
concern
11
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. By the end of this period,
most insured bonds were being valued according to their fundamentals as if they
were uninsured. 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. It is important to note that municipal bonds
historically have had a very low rate of default.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AUCTION RATE PREFERRED SECURITIES MARKETS
As noted in the last shareholder report, beginning in February 2008, more shares
were submitted for sale in the regularly scheduled auctions for the auction rate
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 of the Funds'
auction rate preferred shareholders who wanted to sell their shares in these
auctions were unable to do so. This decline in liquidity in auction rate
preferred shares did not lower the credit quality of these shares, and auction
rate 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 rate preferred shares.
These developments generally have not affected the portfolio management or
investment policies of these Funds. However, one continuing implication for
common shareholders of these auction failures 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 might have been.
As noted in the last shareholder report, the Funds' Board of Director's/Trustees
authorized a plan to use tender option bonds (TOBs), also known as floating rate
securities, to refinance a portion of the Funds' outstanding auction rate
preferred shares.
On January 8, 2009, thirty-five closed-end municipal funds called for redemption
at par a portion of their outstanding auction rate preferred securities. This
series of redemptions will collectively total $250.1 million. This new series of
redemptions brings the total amount of Nuveen's municipal closed-end funds'
12
auction rate preferred securities redemptions to nearly $2 billion of the
original $11 billion outstanding.
As of February 28, 2009, NUM, NZW and NBJ have redeemed $3,100,000, $1,075,000
and $900,000 auction rate preferred shares, respectively, (3.3%, 6.7% and 3.8%
of their original outstanding auction rate preferred shares of $94,000,000,
$16,000,000 and $24,000,000, respectively). While the Funds' Board of
Directors/Trustees and management continue to work to resolve this situation,
the Funds cannot provide any assurance on when the remaining outstanding auction
rate preferred shares might be redeemed.

Common Share
Dividend and Share Price
INFORMATION
During the seven-month reporting period ended February 28, 2009, NUO, NXI, NBJ
and NVJ each had one increase in their monthly dividends. The dividend of NUM
remained stable throughout the reporting period, while NMP and NZW each had one
dividend reduction.
Due to normal portfolio activity, common shareholders of NZW received a
long-term capital gains distributions of $0.0120 at the end of December 2008.
All of the Funds in this report seek to pay stable dividends at rates that
reflect each Fund's past results and projected future performance. During
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 February 28, 2009, all of
the Funds in this report except NZW had a positive UNII balance for both tax and
financial statement purposes. NZW had a positive UNII balance for tax purposes
and a negative UNII balance for financial statement purposes.
COMMON SHARE REPURCHASES AND SHARE PRICE INFORMATION
On July 30, 2008, the Funds' Board of Directors/Trustees approved an open-market
share repurchase program under which each Fund may repurchase up to 10% of its
outstanding common shares. As of February 28, 2009, NMP, NXI and NVJ repurchased
26,700, 600 and 1,700 common shares, respectively, representing approximately
0.35%, 0.01% and 0.08%, respectively, of each Fund's total common shares
outstanding. Since the inception of this program, NMP, NXI, and NVJ repurchased
their common shares at a weighted average price of $10.58, $11.50 and $11.82,
respectively, and a weighted average discount per common share of 20.80%, 17.21%
and 16.10%, respectively.

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 February 28, 2009, by correspondence with the custodian.
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,

each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with US generally accepted
accounting principles.

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 "Funds"). 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 NYSE
Alternext US (formerly 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.
During the current fiscal period, the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Funds
approved a change in the Funds' fiscal and tax year end from July 31 to February
28/29.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with US
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. 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. When market price quotes are not
readily available (which is usually the case for municipal securities), the
pricing service or, in the absence of a pricing service for a particular
investment or derivative instrument, the Board of Directors/Trustees of the
Fund, or its designee, may establish fair value using a wide variety of market
data including yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, type of
issue, coupon, maturity and rating, market quotes or indications of value from
security dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral, general
market conditions and other information and analysis, including the obligor's
credit characteristics considered relevant. 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 February 28, 2009, there
were no such outstanding purchase commitments in any of the Funds.
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.
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.
68
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.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the
Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that
would require recognition in the financial statements. 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). Further, management
of the Funds is 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 US
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. As
of February 28, 2009, the number of Preferred shares outstanding, by Series and
in total, for each Fund is as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total 3,080 1,240 924 660
================================================================================
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.
69
| Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
These developments have generally not affected the portfolio 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.
As of February 28, 2009, Michigan Quality Income (NUM), Michigan Dividend
Advantage (NZW) and Ohio Dividend Advantage 2 (NBJ) redeemed $3,100,000,
$1,075,000 and $900,000 of their outstanding Preferred shares, respectively, at
liquidation value. There were no Preferred share redemptions in any of the other
Funds.
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"). 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 is accounted for as a financing transaction in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140 (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 the related interest paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate
certificates is recognized as "Interest expense on floating rate obligations" on
the Statement of Operations.
During the seven months ended February 28, 2009, each Fund invested in
externally deposited inverse floaters and/or self-deposited inverse floaters.
Each Fund may also enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements (sometimes
referred to as a "recourse trust" or "credit recovery swap") (such agreements
referred to herein as "Recourse Trusts") 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 issued by the
trust plus any shortfalls in interest cash flows. Under these agreements, a
Fund's potential exposure to losses related to or on inverse floaters may
increase beyond the value of a Fund's inverse floater investments as a Fund may
potentially be liable to fulfill all amounts owed to holders of the floating
rate certificates. At period end, any such shortfall is recognized as
"Unrealized depreciation on Recourse Trusts" on the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities.
70
At February 28, 2009, the Funds were not invested in any externally-deposited
Recourse Trusts.

==================================================================================================
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. Michigan Premium Income
(NMP), Ohio Dividend Advantage (NXI) and Ohio Dividend Advantage 3 (NVJ) were
the only Funds to invest in forward interest rate swap transactions during the
seven months ended February 28, 2009.
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.
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 seven
months ended February 28, 2009.
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.
Market and Credit Risk
In the normal course of business each Fund may invest in financial instruments
and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to
changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to the
transaction to perform (credit risk). Similar to credit risk, each Fund may be
exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity
with which the Fund has unsettled or open transactions will default. The
potential loss could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded on the
financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose each Fund to
credit risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties on forward,
option and swap transactions. The extent of each Fund's exposure to credit and
counterparty risks in respect to these financial assets approximates their
carrying value as recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
71
| Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Each Fund helps manage credit risk by entering into agreements only with
counterparties Nuveen Asset Management (the "Adviser"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Nuveen Investments Inc. ("Nuveen") believes have the financial
resources to honor their obligations and by having the Adviser monitor the
financial stability of the counterparties. Additionally, counterparties may be
required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of the
financial asset) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the
amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally,
when each Fund has an unrealized loss, 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 valuations
fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the predetermined threshold amount.
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 US 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.
72
2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
During the current fiscal period, the Funds adopted the provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (SFAS No. 157) "Fair Value
Measurements." SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands
disclosure about fair value measurements. In determining the value of each
Fund's investments various inputs are used. These inputs are summarized in the
three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for
similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit
risk, etc.).
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (including management's
assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of
the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of each Fund's fair value measurements as of February
28, 2009:

5. 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, if any. 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.
At February 28, 2009, the cost of investments was as follows:

6. 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 the
Adviser, 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)
MICHIGAN PREMIUM INCOME (NMP)
OHIO QUALITY INCOME (NUO)
AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS (INCLUDING NET ASSETS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PREFERRED SHARES) FUND-LEVEL FEE RATE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the first $125 million .4500%
For the next $125 million .4375
For the next $250 million .4250
For the next $500 million .4125
For the next $1 billion .4000
For the next $3 billion .3875
For net assets over $5 billion .3750

====================================================================================================================

| Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
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 following table.
As of February 28, 2009, the complex-level fee rate was .2000%.
The complex-level fee schedule is as follows:
COMPLEX-LEVEL ASSETS BREAKPOINT LEVEL (1) EFFECTIVE RATE AT BREAKPOINT LEVEL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$55 billion .2000%
$56 billion .1996
$57 billion .1989
$60 billion .1961
$63 billion .1931
$66 billion .1900
$71 billion .1851
$76 billion .1806
$80 billion .1773
$91 billion .1691
$125 billion .1599
$200 billion .1505
$250 billion .1469
$300 billion .1445
================================================================================
(1) The complex-level component of the management fee for the funds is
calculated based upon the aggregate daily net assets of all Nuveen funds,
with such daily net assets to include assets attributable to preferred
stock issued by or borrowings by such funds but to exclude assets
attributable to investments in other Nuveen funds.
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.
For the first ten years of Ohio Dividend Advantage's (NXI) operations, the
Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund, as a percentage of average daily net
assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares), for fees and
expenses in the amounts and for the time periods set forth below:

7. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 161 (SFAS 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 February 28, 2009,
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.

* 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.
*** Annualized.
+ 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.
(b) For the seven months ended February 28, 2009.

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.
95
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.

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.
o 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.
o 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.
o 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.
o 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.
o MARKET YIELD (ALSO KNOWN AS DIVIDEND YIELD OR CURRENT YIELD): An
investment's current annualized dividend divided by its current market
price.
o NET ASSET VALUE (NAV): A Fund's NAV per common 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 common shares outstanding. Fund
NAVs are calculated at the end of each business day.
o 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.
o 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 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.
The registrant's Board of Directors or Trustees ("Board") 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,

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).

Audit Committee requested and received information from Ernst & Young LLP about

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

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 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 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 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 $4.59 billion
Other Pooled Investment Vehicles 1 $1.5 million
Other Accounts 3 $.20 million
* Assets are as of February 28, 2009. 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 February 28, 2009, the
S&P/Investortools Municipal Bond index was comprised of 51,571 securities with
an aggregate current market value of $1,024 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 led 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 February 28, 2009, 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.
