From Daniel Mtindiga
A young Taraba author Mr. Rimamtanung M. Puri, a National Diploma holder in Science and Laboratory Technology from Federal Polytechnic Mubi, Adamawa sate has launched his first novel at age 25.
The novel which is titled, “There is still time”, is a motivational Novel that narrates the life story of an individual on campus by giving a maximum assurance to the growing youth and even the adult by optimism.
In his remarks at the launching ceremony held at Duvet Glitters Jalingo, the Taraba State capital, the young Taraba born author, Rimamtanung M. Puri who hails from Takum LGA stated that the Novel is a book that gives hope to those who feel that all is not going well with them.
“There are some people who feel they cannot achieve certain things at particular ages due to some factors but this book gives hope to them. The Novel makes them to understand that so long as there is life, everything is possible,” he said.
He maintained that there are people who are fortunate to make it at younger age whereas, there are some who are destined to make it at old age. “If you can see, Barrack Obama has already retired from politics while, Donald Trump is still chasing after his political career,” he remarked.
Mr. Herbert Faith Bellow who reviewed the book on behalf of Professor Elizabeth E. Ogini, recommended the book to be used in Colleges, Polytechnics and high schools for intellectual growth, transformation and sustainability emphasizing that the book would not be used in universities due to the low qualification of the author.
Earlier in their separate remarks, AD Kitan who represented Rt. Honorable Danjuma Usman Shiddi (Danji SS) and Comrade Idris Yakubu who represented Hon. Abubakar Barde while launching the book, commended Mr. Rimamtanung M. Puri for putting up such a beautiful intellectual piece aimed at impacting young people and adults especially at this time that many have lost hope even in themselves.
They supported him with finances and advices, calling on well-meaning sons and daughters of Taraba state to take pleasure in supporting young talents and intellectual works by extension even as they charge young/old people to emulate the lifestyle of Mr. Puri.
