Former Information Minister Alhaji Lai Mohammed just handed over copies of his bombshell memoir, “Headlines and Sound Bites: Media Moments that Defined an Administration,” to Yaba College of Technology’s library – a powerhouse move to fire up students in media, governance, and PR with real-talk insights from his frontline battles.
Mohammed’s dropping truth: Africans gotta own their narratives instead of letting outsiders script our history. The book unpacks key media moments, policy spins, and crisis comms that shaped public vibes during his tenure – plus hard-hitting warnings on fake news, disinfo, and panic triggers he tackled head-on amid security storms. He’s committing to hit 20+ higher institutions nationwide, fueling scholarship and national brainpower.
YABATECH Rector Dr. Ibraheem Abdul grabbed the books with glee, calling it “timely and enriching” for bridging classroom theory with pro wisdom. Dean Abosede Ogunnaike thanked him on behalf of everyone, hailing the spark for aspiring communication.
