Description
This collection of selected speeches of the Prime Minister, Alhaji the Right Honourable Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa needs no introduction because it eloquently speaks for itself. It was felt that these speeches contain so much of the philosophy of Sir Abubakar as a politician, as a statesman and, above all, as a Nigerian, that it would be a great loss for the country, for Africa, and for the world at large, if they were not assembled together for easy reference.
