During my primary and secondary school years, I dropped out of school four different times due to financial difficulties and, at times, health challenges. Altogether, I completed only six terms of secondary school. I often borrowed my classmates' notes to prepare for my Common Entrance and Junior WAEC examinations. Much of my learning was self directed, using notebooks from friends and my elder siblings. Despite these setbacks, I never repeated a class.

"In 2019, I scored 291 in the UTME and emerged as the highest scorer in my class that year. Yet, I was still unable to proceed to university. I eventually gained admission and resumed at Bayero University, Kano in 2021. While pursuing my studies, I served as a class representative, worked as a part time teacher, and volunteered in humanitarian outreach and mentorship programmes for fellow students.
"It has been over a week since my final result was released. All praise be to God Almighty. I graduated with a CGPA of 4.75, emerging as the Best Graduating Student in the Department of Business Management and the Best Graduating Student in the Faculty of Economics and Management Sciences at Bayero University, Kano.
"Behind this achievement lies a story of sacrifice, resilience, perseverance, and above all, God's grace. For the battle is not for the strong, nor the race for the swift. Every success and every victory come from God Almighty alone. Today, as I reflect on this journey, I am reminded that success is not determined by where you start, but by your determination to keep moving forward despite every obstacle.
"I am especially grateful to Dr Rabiu Hassan, PhD and Associate Professor Shukurat Bello, Ph.D, AAT, CIFE, CSAA for their mentorship, guidance, and unwavering support throughout my academic journey. Thank you for believing in me and contributing to my success. Jazakumullahu Khairan.
