The Aliyu Gusau Mohammed Research Library in Kaduna Nigeria is a
project of the Gusau Institute.
It was initiated by Gen. Gusau when he
generously donated his extensive library for the use of the public at large.
Through the efforts of Professor Buba Misawa, Ambassador Achmed Magaji and
others the library received many other book donations.

The focus of the AGM Research Library is on providing
information regarding international relations and security. Many of the donated
books fell outside the scope of the library.
As some of these books were of great value, the library expanded its scope to accommodate other books that could be of use to the serious
researcher.

Some books still fell outside the scope of the library. Books such
as children's books and school books, or where more copies of a book than the
library needed was available, were made up in donations and presented to
institutions and libraries in and around Kaduna. Some even in other states near
to Kaduna.
Thousands of books has been donated through this
program.
