The Legacy of a Statesman is a commemorative digital platform dedicated to preserving, documenting, and celebrating the life and achievements of His Excellency General Abdulsalami Alhaji Abubakar, GCFR, CSG—Nigeria’s 8th Military Head of State, renowned global mediator, and revered African elder statesman.

This initiative honours his 83rd Birthday and the launch of three seminal books in his name, capturing his monumental contributions to Nigeria, Africa, and the world. Through curated content, archival records, scholarly reflections, and multimedia storytelling, the website serves as a living repository of his enduring impact on leadership, democracy, peace, and national development.

The platform also sets the stage for the establishment of the Abdulsalami Abubakar African Resource Centre (AAARC)—a continental knowledge and training hub for peacebuilding, mediation, governance, and sustainable development.
