A collection of novels by African writers and a children's section are also featured.

The Shehu Musa Yar'Adua Collection consists of the personal papers of Shehu Yar'Adua. His notes, documents, speeches, journals and reports cover the period from the civil war through government, politics, business and his imprisonment.

Materials are offered in various forms including, books, journals, magazines, reports, papers, CD ROMs, audio and video cassettes.

We wish to thank the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation for the generous grant awarded to the Yar’Adua Foundation. Their support afforded the Foundation the opportunity to expand its library collection to include books and journals on international affairs, human rights, and constitutional law.
