Dangote’s N8bn donation is followed by Rabiu, the co-launcher of the book who supported the former military president’s project with N5bn.

Danjuma, who was also a co-launcher of the book, pledged the sum of N3bn during the event.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio and the Deputy President of the Senate, Jibrin Barau, donated the sum of N50m and N20m, respectively.

Billionaire businessman Authur Eze pledged the sum of N500m to launch the book and also supported the library project.

The book, ‘A Journey In Service,’ is expected to unravel the mystery surrounding the IBBB persona as military president and as a family man.

Many would also be looking forward to reading about reasons for the annulment of the June 12, 2023, presidential election believed to have been won by the late MKO Abiola.

Babangida was Nigeria’s military head of state from 1985 to 1993, during which he survived two coups.

The annulment of the June 12 election led to a national crisis, which culminated in the extension of military rule until 1999, when the country returned to civil rule.
