Barewa Old Boys Honor Gen Murtala Muhammed's Legacy

The Barewa Old Boys Association held an event to honor the legacy of Gen Murtala Muhammed, emphasizing the importance of discipline in Nigeria. Mr.

Stephen Ogboli, speaking on behalf of the association, noted that the event coincided with the launch of a book unveiling the ancestral roots of the late General. The association, represented by HRH Shehu Moham, described the event as a privilege and an obligation to celebrate the life and service of Muhammed, who passed away fifty years ago.

The statement highlighted three key lessons from Muhammed's life: the significance of early discipline, the architecture of great courage, and the moral decisions that define public acts. It reiterated Muhammed's famous assertion that Nigeria would not tolerate indiscipline in Africa, reflecting a commitment to instill values of leadership and character in Nigerian youth.

The association called for public officials to restore discipline urgently, noting that Muhammed's brief tenure remains a benchmark for courage in governance.
