Barewa College by Udu Yakubu

This book captures the vision of the founders of the school, the twist and turns in its evolution, and practical dimensions of its roles and impact on the Nigeria nation. Concomitantly, it is the story of Nigeria through the prism of a college’s history. Either way, the two critical elements of the narrative -Barewa College and Nigeria- can only be understood by a reading of one in the contexts of the other.  It is a profound rendering of history that recommends  itself to those who have been directly associated with the college, but a lot more to every Nigeria and to students of history everywhere.
