“We are also at the mercy of historical revisionists whose
hidden agenda is to distort our national narrative. These daunting realities
serve as the inspiration behind the books we gather to present today.

 

“His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has made
security a top priority, and so the empirical research provided by scholars
like Professor Shehu is essential.
