Description

This biography, first published in 1982 by Routledge, chronicles the life of Alhaji Shehu Shagari, Nigeria's elected president and a pivotal figure in Africa's most populous nation. Shagari's political journey began as the first student from his ancestral hometown of Shagari, founded 170 years prior in what is now Sokoto State, to attend secondary school. His career encompassed numerous ministerial positions before his election in 1979, which marked the peaceful conclusion of thirteen and a half years of military governance in Africa's third largest democracy. Known for his thoughtful, scholarly approach and conciliatory nature, Shagari's commitment to education shaped his leadership philosophy and legacy. This historical account provides insight into Nigerian politics, democratic transition, and one leader's influence during a transformative era in West African governance.
