Years ago, a young Hausa/Fulani boy named Ahmad Isah arrived Dutse with little more than hope and a determination to learn the Qur’an. Touched by the boy’s sincerity, Maiyaki enrolled him in a primary school; a small act that would set the stage for a remarkable journey. I promised myself I would help achieve Goal Two of the MDG — universal primary education — by supporting a child like Isah.”Under Maiyaki’s guidance, Isah pursued both Qur’anic and Western education with unmatched fervour. In 2019, Isah’s life-long dream materialised when he gained admission into the Federal University Dutse, graduating with a BSc in Criminology and Security Studies, Second Class Upper (2.1) degree. I never believed my son would acquire Western education, yet today he has achieved it,” she said.
