If you ask me to summarise our mission, I would put it this way: We were a military regime that sought to lay the foundations for freedom and liberty in a complex society. – Ibrahim Babangida
The reason is that till date, in spite of advances in information technology and strategies of information, the written word in the form of books still remains one of humanitys most enduring legacies. – Ibrahim Babangida
At the same, we need to remain sensitive to the reality that we are still an African society in which the majority of the people and communities live under severe deprivations and afflictions that are no fault of theirs. – Ibrahim Babangida
Each one of us, and, indeed, all those who aspire to national leadership must bring their own visions, views and styles to the business of reforming Nigeria, and the search for solutions. – Ibrahim Babangida
