‘Proceeds from my book sale will go to charity’ – Duale

Defence Cabinet Secretary (CS) Aden Duale has announced that all proceeds from the sale of his book ‘ For the Record’ will be given to charity.

In a statement shared through his official Twitter account, Duale noted that the move was in memory of his late mother who died on August 25, 2020.

The vocal CS hailed his mother for nurturing him to grow into the man he is today.

“Were it not for my mother, I would not have grown from the herdsboy, strutting the dust and thistles of the North, into who I have become; the CS Defence,” he stated.

“Today, as the World honours mothers for their unconditional love, unwavering support and countless sacrifices, I am happy the story of my mother – as is of other mothers – is also the first of the thirty-two chapters of my book, ‘For the Record’,” he added.

The CS recounted that it was because of his mother that he learnt how to give back to society and as such he would ensure that the move is implemented.

“It is for her that I dedicate all the proceeds from the sale of my book to charity. My little way of giving back to the community; just like she taught me,” he added.

He advised his followers to treat their mothers well so as to attract abundance and grace in their lives.

“Your mother is a door of mercy that Allah opened for you. Don’t close it. Happy Mothers’ Day!” he said.
