Sprezzatura Publishing to Unveil Book on Mandatory Military Service, Sparks National Conversation
Sprezzatura Publishing Ltd. has announced plans to officially present its new book, “Serving the Nation: Exploring Mandatory Military Service for Nigerian Youths,” which promises to be a thought-provoking engagement on national development and youth responsibility.
The presentation is scheduled to be held on February 20, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the 3Js Hotel, with policymakers, academics, security experts, youth leaders, and members of the public expected to attend.
Speaking with newsmen ahead of the event, the Managing Director of the company, Dr Abubakar Muhammad Sani, described the forthcoming launch as more than just a book presentation.
According to him, the publication is designed to stimulate constructive debate around the growing calls for compulsory military service for Nigerian youths.“This book does not impose a position on Nigerians,” he explained. “Rather, it encourages critical thinking about patriotism, discipline, unity, and the broader responsibilities of young people in nation-building.
“We want citizens to carefully reflect on the possible social, economic and political implications of such a policy.”
Dr Sani noted that Nigeria’s youthful population remains one of its greatest assets, stressing that any discussion about mandatory service must be approached thoughtfully and inclusively.
A major highlight of the program will be a panel discussion featuring authors and key stakeholders.
The session is expected to provide a platform for open dialogue, exchange of perspectives, and practical suggestions on strengthening national service structures and youth participation in governance and development.
The Sperazzatura boss said that the event aims to spark meaningful conversations about citizenship, shared responsibility, and innovative strategies for advancing national cohesion.As anticipation builds, the book presentation is shaping up to be an engaging forum for Nigerians passionate about the country’s future and the empowerment of its young generation.
