Lai Mohammed, the former Minister of Information and Culture, took the opportunity to defend his legacy during an event at Yakubu Gowon University in Abuja. He highlighted his contributions to the administration from 2015 to 2023 and emphasized the importance of Nigerians documenting their own history. Alongside this defense, he presented copies of his book entitled 'Headlines & Soundbites: Media Moments that Defined an Administration', which details his firsthand experiences and governance during his tenure.

During the event, Mohammed announced the launch of a literacy initiative called the 'Reading Sessions Project', which aims to promote reading and literacy in tertiary institutions across Nigeria. This project is part of his broader advocacy for education and knowledge sharing among young Nigerians. The initiative seeks to foster a culture of reading which is crucial for nation-building, according to Mohammed.

The presentation of his book and the reading initiative signify Mohammed's efforts to leave a lasting impact and influence on Nigeria's educational landscape. By encouraging the documentation of historical narratives and advocating for literacy, he hopes to empower future generations with knowledge about their country’s past and governance processes. This event illustrates the intertwining of politics, education, and civil engagement in Nigeria.
