Bukar Usman, one of Nigeria’s most prolific writers, has authored two more books. They include ‘My Public Service Journey: Issues in Public Policy Administration in Nigeria’ and ‘Restructuring Nigeria: An Overview’. A third is however written in his honour titled ‘Falsafar Bukar Usman’.

‘My Public Service Journey’ is an expository work on the Nigerian public service. Here, he shares his perspectives and documents his views and advice on various matters of good governance and the public service. Before now he had published ‘My Literary Journey’, a continuation of his autobiography, ‘Hatching Hopes’.

In ‘Restructuring Nigeria’ he takes a look at the debate around the subject and attempts to document the key points while at the same time responding to some of the crucial questions raised by stakeholders.

Usman does not only write in English but also in the Hausa language. This time around however, Khalid Imam, a writer and poet whose works have been published in various platforms, takes the liberty of compiling songs written in honour of Usman by various artists in Hausa.

Born in Biu, Borno State, Usman has authored many books, among them is his Biu Emirate Studies Series, ‘Language Disappearance and Cultural Diversity in Biu Emirate. A recipient of several awards, he has a degree in Public Administration and International Relations and was conferred with Honorary Doctor of Letters degree in 2014 by Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.
