A journey in service by Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida

Descriptions

This book is a testimony to a life lived in providence and in the company of others with whom our paths crossed.

This book is not just about his multiple contributions to national life. He is on record already as Nigeria's most documented leader. This life story started privately and modestly and later became public and historically consequential. This book takes us through national history and General Babangida's life of challenges, obstacles, and triumphs. This is the life of a modest orphan boy and the career of a devoted and outstanding soldier, patriot, and fine officer in the best traditions of our military. Above all, this book is the testimony of a statesman, an account of service rendered to the nation and people. It is remarkably readable and fluid.

 I know that A JOURNEY IN SERVICE is a response to a long standing demand of many Nigerians. Given the monumental and historical changes that General Babangida presided over, it is only natural that many Nigerians of diferent generations would be eager to learn first-hand the motivations, the actual events, and the reasons behind these far-reaching policies, decisions, and events, some of which shook the nation to its very foundations.
