Two new books celebrating Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara and the late oil magnate, High Chief (Dr.) O.B. Lulu-Briggs, are scheduled for release in London on June 30, 2026.

The announcement was made by Burning Grass Associates, a London-based printing and publishing company, which said the publications are intended to commemorate Governor Fubara’s political trajectory and the enduring legacy of Lulu-Briggs, founder of Moni Pulo Nigeria Limited. The release of the Lulu-Briggs volume also coincides with what would have been his 96th posthumous birthday.

According to the publisher, the Rivers State Government has been formally notified of the forthcoming book on Governor Fubara in a letter dated March 23, 2026, addressed to the Chief of Staff at Government House, Port Harcourt. Titled Landmark Speeches & Extraordinary Letters to Governor “Sim” Fubara: International Guide to the Biggest Political Crisis in the History of Rivers State (Vol. 1), the book is positioned as a documentation of key moments surrounding recent political developments in the state.

In a similar vein, Moni Pulo Nigeria Limited was notified via a March 26, 2026 letter addressed to its Chairman/Chief Executive, regarding the release of a commemorative volume on Lulu-Briggs. The book, titled Landmark Legacy & Extraordinary Tributes in Honour of High Chief (Dr.) O.B. Lulu-Briggs, OON, DCF, DSSRS (1930–2018): International Guide to the Continued Success Story of Africa’s Leading Indigenous Oil Company, Moni Pulo Nigeria Limited, highlights the late businessman’s legacy and the growth of the company he founded.

Burning Grass Associates described both publications as significant contributions to political and corporate history, offering curated speeches, letters, and tributes that reflect the subjects’ influence and impact.
