technologically-driven organisation to deepen effective

service
delivery,

Publishers’ comment:

         
Brig-General Shuaibu Ibrahim has conquered two worlds, both as an accomplished
academic and soldier. His life story is necessary to serve as a reservoir of
inspiration to youngsters in Nigeria and the world at large.

         
General Ibrahim’s accomplishment shows that it is possible to reach the peak in
two professions one holds dear in one’s heart.
