President Buhari to unveil photo book on Nigeria’s history
President Muhammadu Buhari is set to unveil ‘Discover Nigeria’, a pictorial book on Nigeria’s history, covering the period from independence in 1960 to the present.
The 392-page book to be launched today, is authored by Bayo Omoboriowo, Buhari’s official photographer.
It showcases traditional institutions, landscapes, farmlands, stunning waterfalls, and seas, among others.
Speaking of the project, Omoboriowo hinted that the book is contending for the Guinness World Records’ largest photobook on the eve of the presentation which coincides with Nigeria’s 61st independence anniversary.
‘‘The previous record for the largest photobook is 45sqm. The ‘Discover Nigeria’ book has been printed and mounted as a 60sqm giant frame book-60 images, 60 pages, 60 square meters, celebrating Nigeria at 60,’’ he said.
The photographer explained that the book presentation was conceived as part of Nigeria’s diamond celebration.
