“Out of the one hundred and seven that scaled through, seven have various physical challenges. I am elated to that students in a wide range of courses passed, just as illustrated in the final list I attached. Insha Allah, I intend to do more after I am sworn in on June 13, 2023. I would like to thank everyone that contributed to the entire process.

“The Yasmin El-Rufai Foundation, the ad hoc committee, my childhood friend, the Chairman of Kaduna North LGA, Muktar Baloni, and the good of Kaduna North for their patience, trust, and words of encouragement.”
