Gowon's Autobiography: T. Y Danjuma Donated ₦3 Billion, Dangote ₦500 Million, Abdul-Samad ₦25 Million

Retired Gen. Theophilus Danjuma has donated ₦3 billion to support the public presentation of former Head of State, Retired Gen. Yakubu Gowon’s autobiography.

Aliko Dangote, Chairman of the Dangote Group, contributed ₦500 million, while Abdul-Samad Rabiu, President of BUA Group, purchased copies of the book worth ₦25 million.

The 20-chapter memoir, titled “My Life of Duty and Allegiance,” was publicly presented in Abuja on Tuesday, May 19, 2026. Vice President Kashim Shettima represented President Bola Tinubu at the well-attended event, which drew top government officials, diplomats, and senior military officers.

Bishop Matthew Kukah, the Catholic Bishop of Sokoto, reviewed the book. Danjuma, who served as Chief Presenter, was represented by retired Gen. Martin Luther Agwai, a former Chief of Defence Staff.

Beyond the cash donation, Danjuma directed the purchase and distribution of 12 copies of the book to the libraries of each of the 20 universities that awarded Gowon honorary doctorate degrees.

When General Yakubu Gowon paid a state visit to the then North East, we all lined up not to see him but to see his elegant and beautiful First Lady, Victoria Gowon. Since her exit, that role became famous with the late Maryam Babangida.
