Expected Guests
Presiding over the book presentation will be Amb. Yusuf Mamman while the Executive Governor of Jigawa State, His Excellency Mohammed Namadi, will serve as Special Guest of Honour.

“This is not a book launch but a public presentation—an invitation to reflection, action, and inspiration,” Dr. Abubakar emphasized. “It is my goal to ensure this book reaches young people directly, which is why it will be distributed free of charge, beginning with 5,000 copies to be shared among secondary school and undergraduate students nationwide.”
A Book Rooted in Impact and Service
With accessible language and elegant prose, Principles for Greatness transforms the weight of military leadership into relatable life lessons for a generation in search of direction. Dr. Abubakar offers a roadmap to greatness that does not rely on wealth or privilege, but on integrity, clarity of purpose, and perseverance, drawing heavily from Buratai’s life and public service ethos.
The book’s engaging narrative structure, smooth chapter transitions, and high production quality are designed to both captivate and endure, offering young readers a lasting companion in their personal development journeys.
