GENERAL INFORMATION

This Joint Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by
the Board of Directors or Board of Trustees, as the case may be, (each a "Board"
and each director or trustee a "Board Member") of each of Nuveen Arizona Premium
Income Municipal Fund, Inc. ("Arizona Premium"), Nuveen Michigan Quality Income
Municipal Fund, Inc. ("Michigan Quality"), Nuveen Michigan Premium Income
Municipal Fund, Inc. ("Michigan Premium"), Nuveen Ohio Quality Income Municipal
Fund, Inc. ("Ohio Quality"), each a Minnesota corporation, and Nuveen
Connecticut Premium Income Municipal Fund ("Connecticut Premium"), Nuveen
Georgia Premium Income Municipal Fund ("Georgia Premium"), Nuveen Maryland
Premium Income Municipal Fund ("Maryland Premium"), Nuveen Massachusetts Premium
Income Municipal Fund ("Massachusetts Premium"), Nuveen Missouri Premium Income
Municipal Fund ("Missouri Premium"), Nuveen North Carolina Premium Income
Municipal Fund ("North Carolina Premium"), Nuveen Texas Quality Income Municipal
Fund ("Texas Quality") and Nuveen Virginia Premium Income Municipal Fund
("Virginia Premium"), each a Massachusetts business trust, (individually, a
"Fund" and, collectively, the "Funds"), of proxies to be voted at the Annual
Meeting of Shareholders of each Fund to be held on October 24, 2001 (for each
Fund, an "Annual Meeting" and, collectively, the "Annual Meetings"), and at any
and all adjournments thereof.

On the matters coming before each Fund's Annual Meeting as to which a choice has
been specified by the shareholders of that Fund on the proxy, the shares of that
Fund will be voted accordingly. If no choice is so specified, the shares of each
Fund will be voted FOR the election of the nominees as listed in this Joint
Proxy Statement. Shareholders of any Fund who execute proxies may revoke them at
any time before they are voted by filing with that Fund a written notice of
revocation, by delivering a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by
attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

The Board of each Fund has determined that the use of this Joint Proxy Statement
for the Fund's Annual Meeting is in the best interest of the Fund and its
shareholders in light of the similar matters being considered and voted on by
the shareholders. Shareholders of each

                           1
   5

Fund will vote separately on each proposal relating to their Fund, and a vote on
a proposal by the shareholders of one Fund will not affect the vote on the
proposal by the shareholders of another Fund.

The following table indicates which shareholders are solicited with respect to
each matter:



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MATTER                                           COMMON SHARES    MUNIPREFERRED(1)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                           
 1a. Election of Board Members by all                  X                  X
     shareholders (Robert P. Bremner, Lawrence
     H. Brown, Anne E. Impellizzeri, Peter R.
     Sawers and Judith M. Stockdale nominated)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  b. Election of Board Members by                     N/A                 X
     MuniPreferred only (William J. Schneider
     and Timothy R. Schwertfeger nominated)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


(1) "MuniPreferred" means "Municipal Auction Rate Cumulative Preferred Shares."

A quorum of shareholders is required to take action at each Fund's Annual
Meeting. A majority of the shares entitled to vote at each Annual Meeting,
represented in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum of shareholders at
that Annual Meeting, except that for the election of the two Board Member
nominees to be elected by holders of MuniPreferred of each Fund, 33 1/3% of the
MuniPreferred shares entitled to vote and represented in person or by proxy will
constitute a quorum. Votes cast by proxy or in person at each Annual Meeting
will be tabulated by the inspectors of election appointed for that Annual
Meeting. The inspectors of election will determine whether or not a quorum is
present at the Annual Meeting. The inspectors of election will treat abstentions
and "broker non-votes" (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees, typically in
"street name," as to which (i) instructions have not been received from the
beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee
does not have discretionary voting power on a particular matter) as present for
purposes of determining a quorum.

For purposes of determining the approval of the matters submitted for a vote of
the shareholders of each Fund (except Connecticut Premium, Georgia Premium,
Maryland Premium, Massachusetts Premium, Missouri Premium, North Carolina
Premium, Texas Quality and Virginia Premium, the "Massachusetts Business
Trusts"), abstentions and broker non-votes will be treated as shares voted
against the election of Board Members. For purposes of determining the approval
of the matters submitted for a vote of the shareholders of the Massachusetts
Business Trusts, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the
election of Board Members. The details of the proposal to be voted on by the
shareholders of each Fund and the vote required for approval of the proposal are
set forth under the description of the proposal below.

                           2

Those persons who were shareholders of record at the close of business on August
10, 2001, will be entitled to one vote for each share held. As of August 10,
2001, the following shares of the Funds were issued and outstanding:

documents, holders of MuniPreferred are entitled to elect two (2) Board Members,
and the remaining Board Members are to be elected by holders of common shares
and MuniPreferred, voting together as a single class.

FOR ARIZONA PREMIUM, MICHIGAN QUALITY, MICHIGAN PREMIUM AND OHIO QUALITY. The
affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote at the
Annual Meeting will be required to elect Board Members of each Fund.

FOR CONNECTICUT PREMIUM, GEORGIA PREMIUM, MARYLAND PREMIUM, MASSACHUSETTS

   7

It is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote the
shares represented thereby for the election of the nominees listed below unless
the proxy is marked otherwise. Each of the nominees has agreed to serve as a
Board Member of each Fund if elected; however, should any nominee become unable
or unwilling to accept nomination for election, the proxies for each Fund will
be voted for one or more substitute nominees designated by that Fund's present
Board.

The table below shows each nominee's birthdate, principal occupations and other
business affiliations, the year in which each nominee was first elected or
appointed a Board Member of each Fund and the number of common shares of all
Nuveen Funds (excluding money market funds) which each nominee beneficially
owned as of July 31, 2001. On July 31, 2001, the Board Members did not
beneficially own any of the Fund's common shares or shares of MuniPreferred. All
of the nominees were last elected to the Board at the 2000 annual meeting of
shareholders. Currently there is a vacancy on each Board. No candidate has been
selected to fill this vacancy.

Other than Mr. Schwertfeger, none of the Board Members has ever been a director
or an employee of Nuveen Investments or any affiliate.

EACH FUND'S BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE ELECTION
OF THE NOMINEES NAMED BELOW.

(*) "Interested person" as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, by reason of being an officer or director of the Funds' investment
adviser, Nuveen Advisory Corp.

(1) As of July 31, 2001, the Board Members and nominees were board members of 30
Nuveen open-end funds and 66 closed-end funds managed by Nuveen Advisory Corp.
("NAC"). In addition, Mr. Schwertfeger is a board member of nine open-end and
five closed-end funds managed by Nuveen Institutional Advisory Corp. ("NIAC")
and two funds managed by Nuveen Senior Loan Asset Management Inc. ("NSLAM").

(2) Certain Shares may be held in the name of, or jointly with, a director's
spouse or a director may have disclaimed beneficial ownership of certain Shares.

(3) Board Members Schneider and Schwertfeger are Board nominees to be elected by
holders of MuniPreferred for all Funds.

The Board Members affiliated with Nuveen Investments ("Nuveen") or Nuveen
Advisory Corp. (the "Adviser") serve without any compensation from the Funds.
Board Members who are not affiliated with Nuveen or the Adviser receive a
$15,000 quarterly retainer ($60,000 annually) for serving as a board member of
all funds sponsored by Nuveen and managed by the Adviser and a $1,000 fee per
day plus expenses for attendance at all meetings held on a day on which a
regularly scheduled Board meeting is held, a $1,000 fee per day plus expenses
for attendance in person or a $500 fee per day plus expenses for attendance by
telephone at a meeting held on a day on which no regular Board meeting is held,
and a $250 fee per day plus expenses for attendance in person or by telephone at
a meeting of the executive committee or the dividend committee. The annual
retainer, fees and expenses are

                           6
   10

allocated among the funds managed by the Adviser on the basis of relative net
asset sizes. Effective January 1, 1999, the Board of Directors/Trustees of
certain Nuveen funds (the "Participating Funds") established a Deferred
Compensation Plan for Independent Directors and Trustees ("Deferred Compensation
Plan"). Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, Independent Board Members of the
Participating Funds may defer receipt of all, or a portion, of the compensation
they earn for their services to the Participating Funds, in lieu of receiving
current payments of such compensation. Any deferred amount is treated as though
an equivalent dollar amount had been invested in shares of one or more eligible
Nuveen funds. Each Independent Board Member, other than Mr. Brown, has elected
to defer at least a portion of their fees. None of the Funds are Participating
Funds.

The table below shows, for each Board Member who is not affiliated with Nuveen
or the Adviser, the aggregate compensation (i) paid by each Fund to each Board
Member for its last fiscal year and (ii) paid during the calendar year ended
2000.

(1) Includes compensation for service on the boards of the NAC Funds for the
    calendar year ended 2000, including deferred fees.

Peter R. Sawers and Timothy R. Schwertfeger serve as members of the executive
committee of the Board of each Fund. The executive committee, which meets
between regular meetings of the Board, is authorized to exercise all of the
powers of the Board; provided that the scope of the powers of the executive
committee, unless otherwise specifically authorized by the full Board, are
limited to: (i) emergency matters where assembly of the full Board is
impracticable (in which case management will take all reasonable steps to
quickly notify each individual Board Member of the actions taken by the
executive committee) or (ii) matters of

                           7
   11

administrative or ministerial nature. The executive committee of each Fund held
no meetings during their fiscal year.

Lawrence H. Brown and Timothy R. Schwertfeger are the current members of the
dividend committee for each Fund. The dividend committee is authorized to
declare distributions on the Funds' shares including, but not limited to,
regular and special dividends, capital gains and ordinary income distributions.
The dividend committee of each Fund held twelve meetings during its last fiscal
year.

Each Fund's Board has an audit committee composed of Board Members who are not
"interested persons" of the Fund and who are "independent" as that term is
defined in Section 303.01(B)(2)(a) and (3) of the New York Stock Exchange's
listing standards. The audit committee reviews the work and any recommendations
of the Fund's independent auditors. Based on such review, it is authorized to
make recommendations to the Board. The audit committee of each Fund held two
meetings during its last fiscal year. The audit committee has adopted a written
charter. A copy of the written charter is attached as Appendix A to this proxy
statement.

Nomination of those Board Members who are not "interested persons" of each Fund
is committed to a governance committee composed of the Board Members who are not
"interested persons" of that Fund. It identifies and recommends individuals to
be nominated for election as non interested Board Members. The governance
committee of each Fund held two meetings during its last fiscal year. No policy
or procedure has been established as to the recommendation of Board Member
nominees by shareholders.

The Board of each Fund with a May 31 fiscal year end held four regular meetings
during its last fiscal year. Three regular meetings were held by the Board of
each Fund with a July 31 fiscal year end. During the last fiscal year, each
Board Member attended 75% or more of each Fund's Board meetings and the
committee meetings (if a member thereof).

The following table sets forth information as of July 31, 2001 with respect to
each executive officer of the Funds, other than Mr. Schwertfeger, who is a Board
Member and included in the table relating to nominees for the Board. Officers of
the Funds receive no compensation from the Funds. The term of office of all
officers will expire in August 2002.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee of the Board of each Fund is responsible for assisting the
Board in monitoring (1) the quality and integrity of the Fund's financial
statements, (2) the Fund's compliance with regulatory requirements, and (3) the
independence and performance of the Fund's independent and internal auditors.
Among other responsibilities, the Committee reviews, in its oversight capacity,
the Fund's annual financial statements with both management and the independent
auditors and it meets periodically with the independent and internal auditors to
consider their evaluation of the Fund's financial and internal controls. The
Committee also recommends to the Board the selection of the Fund's independent
auditors. The Committee is composed of six Board Members and operates under a
written charter adopted and approved by the Board. Each Committee member is
independent as defined by New York Stock Exchange listing standards. A copy of
the Audit Committee Charter is attached to the proxy statement as Appendix A.

The Committee, in discharging its duties, has met with and held discussions with
management and the Fund's independent and internal auditors. Management has
represented to the independent auditors that each Fund's financial statements
were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The
Committee has also discussed with the independent auditors the matters required
to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communications with
Audit Committees). The Fund's independent auditors provided to the Committee the
written disclosure required by Independent Standards Board Standard No. 1
(Independent Discussions with Audit Committees), and the Committee has discussed
with representatives of the independent auditor their firm's independence. As
provided in the Audit Committee Charter, it is not the Committee's
responsibility to determine, and the considerations and discussions referenced
above do not ensure, that the
                           11
   15

Fund's financial statements are complete and accurate and presented in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Based on the Committee's review and discussions with management and the
independent auditors, the representations of management and the report of the
independent auditors to the Committee, the Committee has recommended that the
Board include the audited financial statements in the Fund's Annual Report.

The members of the Committee are:

Robert P. Bremner
Lawrence H. Brown
Anne E. Impellizzeri
Peter R. Sawers
William J. Schneider
Judith M. Stockdale

ALL OTHER FEES. The Audit Committee of each Fund has generally considered
whether the receipt of non-audit fees by Ernst & Young LLP from the Fund is
compatible with maintaining Ernst & Young LLP's independence.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL INTEREST REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 30(h) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act")
and Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934
Act"), require each Fund's Board Members and officers, investment adviser,
affiliated persons of the investment adviser and persons who own more than ten
percent of a registered class of the Funds' equity securities to file forms
reporting their affiliation with that Fund and reports of ownership and changes
in ownership of that Fund's shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") and the New York Stock Exchange. These persons and entities are

                           12
   16

required by SEC regulation to furnish the Funds with copies of all Section 16(a)
forms they file. Based on a review of these forms furnished to each Fund, each
Fund believes that during its last fiscal year all Section 16(a) filing
requirements applicable to that Fund's Board Members and officers, investment
adviser and affiliated persons of the investment adviser were complied with.

Rule 14a-8 of the 1934 Act must be received at the offices of that Fund, 333

14a-4(c)(1) of a proposal submitted outside of the process of Rule 14a-8 must
submit such written notice to the Fund not later than August 3, 2002. Timely
submission of a proposal does not mean that such proposal will be included.

EXPENSES OF PROXY SOLICITATION

The cost of preparing, printing and mailing the enclosed proxy, accompanying
notice and proxy statement, and all other costs in connection with the
solicitation of proxies, will be paid by the Funds pro rata based on the number

telephone or telegraph by officers of each Fund, by officers or employees of

expected to be available on or before September 29, 2001. Each Fund will

directed to such Fund at 333 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606, or by

GENERAL

Management does not intend to present and does not have reason to believe that
any other items of business will be presented at any Fund's Annual Meeting.
However, if other matters are properly presented to the Annual Meetings for a
vote, the proxies will be voted by the persons acting under the proxies upon
such matters in accordance with their judgment of the best interests of each
Fund.

A list of shareholders entitled to be present and to vote at each Fund's Annual
Meeting will be available at the offices of the Funds, 333 West Wacker Drive,
Chicago, Illinois, for inspection by any shareholder during regular business
hours for ten days prior to the date of that Annual Meeting.

Failure of a quorum to be present at any Annual Meeting will necessitate
adjournment and will subject that Fund to additional expense. The persons named
in the enclosed proxy may also move for an adjournment of any Annual Meeting to
permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to any of the proposals if
they determine that adjournment and further solicitation is reasonable and in
the best interests of the shareholders. Under each Fund's By-Laws, an
adjournment of a meeting requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the
shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting.

IF YOU CANNOT BE PRESENT IN PERSON, YOU ARE REQUESTED TO VOTE YOUR SHARES
PROMPTLY.

                     NUVEEN MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES

                            AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

                                   July, 2000

ORGANIZATION

There shall be a committee of each Board of Directors/Trustees of the Nuveen
Management Investment Companies to be known as the Audit Committee. The Audit
Committee shall be composed of at least three Directors/Trustees. Audit
Committee members shall be independent of the Management Investment Companies
and free of any relationship that, in the opinion of the Directors/Trustees,
would interfere with their exercise of independent judgment as a committee
member. Each such member of the Audit Committee shall have a basic understanding
of finance and accounting and be able to read and understand fundamental
financial statements, and at least one such member shall have accounting or
related financial management expertise, in each case as determined by the
Directors/ Trustees, exercising their business judgment.

STATEMENT OF POLICY

The Audit Committee shall assist the Board in monitoring (1) the accounting and
reporting policies and practices of the Management Investment Companies
(hereafter referred to as "Funds" or individually "Fund"), (2) the quality and
integrity of the financial statements of the Funds, (3) the compliance by the
Funds with legal and regulatory requirements and (4) the independence and
performance of the external and internal auditors. In doing so, the Audit
Committee shall seek to maintain free and open means of communication among the
Directors, the independent auditors, the internal auditors and the management of
Nuveen.

The Audit Committee shall have the authority in its discretion to retain special
legal, accounting or other consultants to advise the Committee. The Audit
Committee may request any officer or employee of the John Nuveen Company or the
Funds' independent auditors or outside counsel to attend a meeting of the
Committee or to meet with any members of, or consultants to, the Committee. The
Funds' independent auditors and internal auditors shall have unrestricted
accessibility at any time to committee members.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Fund management has the primary responsibility to establish and maintain systems
for accounting, reporting and internal control.

The independent auditors have the primary responsibility to plan and implement
an audit, with proper consideration given to the accounting, reporting and
internal controls. The independent auditors are ultimately accountable to the
Board and Audit Committee. It is the ultimate responsibility of the Board and
the Audit Committee for selection, evaluation and replacement of the independent
auditors.

                           15
   19

In carrying out its responsibilities the Audit Committee believes its policies
and procedures should remain flexible, in order to react to changing conditions
and requirements applicable to the Funds.

The Audit Committee is responsible for the following:

     Fund Financial Statements:

       1. Reviewing the annual audited financial statements with Fund management
          including major issues regarding accounting and auditing principles
          and practices.

       2. Requiring the independent auditors to deliver to the Chairman of the
          Committee a timely report on any issues relating to the significant
          accounting policies, management judgements and accounting estimates or
          other matters that would need to be communicated under SAS 61, that
          arise during the auditor's review of the Fund's financial statements,
          which information shall be further communicated by the Chairman to the
          other members of the Committee, as deemed necessary or appropriate in
          the judgment of the Chairman.

     With respect to the independent auditors:

          where new or more detailed controls or procedures are desirable.
          Particular emphasis should be given to the adequacy of such internal

          deemed illegal or otherwise improper.

Although the Audit Committee shall have the authority and responsibilities set
forth in this Charter, it is not the responsibility of the Audit Committee to
plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Funds' financial statements are
complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles. That is the responsibility of management and the independent
auditors. Nor is it the duty of the Audit Committee to conduct investigations,
to resolve disagreements, if any, between management and the independent
auditors or to ensure compliance with laws and regulations.
