Reuben Abati, former special adviser on media and publicity to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, is set to unveil three new books in Lagos.
The book presentation, organised by Caltop Publications Nigeria Limited, will take place on Friday, November 7, at the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs (NIIA), Victoria Island, Lagos.
