Academics Set To Unveil Books On Buhari’s Presidency

A team of 94 academics, researchers and experts have combined to produce an authoritative, comprehensive and definitive history of the Buhari administration in a 5-volume compendium cutting across various sectors of governance and development in Nigeria in the last eight years.

Titled Muhammadu Buhari: The Nigerian Legacy (2015-2023), the compendium has 125 chapters that carefully and systematically comb through the various fields of public experience in the country to succinctly capture the policies, programmes, projects, challenges, achievements and shortcomings of the erstwhile administration.

The volumes encapsulate a very broad range of the Buhari legacy in Nigerian history. They constitute the administration’s scorecard as documented by independent experts and scholars outside the government.

The work is the result of many months of independent research and critical engagements with the activities and achievements of the Buhari administration. It is an initiative of May Publishing Limited.

According to the Project Director and Editor, Dr Udu Yakubu, it is “neither a commissioned, nor government-solicited, nor a government-censored work.

“The volumes are pitched against and far above mere political talks coloured by populism, individual, party or sectarian interests, street sentiments and social media activism and propaganda.   They deal with cold, hard empirical facts and figures in engaging the various policies, programmes and actions of the administration, and the impact that they had in Nigeria’s development over the last eight years.’’
