ABU graduate writes emotional letter to Tinubu

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a Nigerian graduate had penned a touching letter to President Bola Tinubu seeking a job.

The writer, identified as Muhammed Sani Lawal from Katsina state, graduated from Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, in February 2024 with a degree in Adult Education and Community Development. He attached copies of his degree certificate and NYSC exemption letter to his appeal to confirm his academic background.

In his letter, Lawal narrated the struggles he has faced since completing his studies. He explained that the death of his father shortly after his graduation left him without financial support, forcing him into a cycle of hardship. Despite repeated efforts to secure employment, he said he has remained jobless. He appealed to President Tinubu to provide him with a job, financial support to start a business, and assistance to secure a home. People have reacted to the letter.
