In like manner, the story of the territory unfolds with the release of every body of literature on its history and development over the years. The Story of Abuja; Nigeria's New Capital, written by Dr. L.I. Ofoegbu, is a rich addition to previous and current efforts to create better understanding of the raison d'etre of a politically and culturally neutral and unifying capital that belongs to all Nigerians. The book is a product of painstaking research undertaken by an insider who is familiar with the history of the FCT as well as the interplay of policies, politics and activities that culminated in Abuja Capital City and its satellite communities as we know them today." - General Dr. Yakubu Gowon, GCFR, Former Head of State of Nigeria.
