His caption was simple but heartfelt: "Alhamdullilah", a word of gratitude to God that said everything.
Why Nigerians are talking
What made the moment stand out was not just the graduation itself, but where it happened.
In a country where many prominent politicians send their children overseas for university education, Kwankwaso's decision to have his son, Alamin, study at a local Nigerian institution drew widespread attention and admiration online.
