They are sharp. Intelligent. Focused. Achievers. They are women. All northerners. Almost all from Kano/Jigawa axis, with a sprinkle of Adamawa. Bayero University Kano has just released a list of promoted Professors and Associate Professors today December 27, 2024. Ten of them, made up of seven Professors and three Associate Professors, are women.
It is heartwarming to see how northern women are excelling in their chosen fields. Truly, what a northern man can do, a northern woman can much, much better. She has greater resilience and tenacity. For despite the challenges of maintaining a traditional household, juggling between children, grandchildren and career (writing, publishing, traveling, conference attendance, etc.), yet these northern Hausa women (forget about this Hausa/Fulani anomaly, despite some being full Pulaar speakers, we have integrated them into our Hausa identity and mindset) have been able excel in their various fields of academic expertise.
For some, they are true innovators and trailblazers in their fields. I am in particular referring to Honorable Minister of State for Education, Professor Suwaiba Sa’id Ahmad, who is now the first female Professor of Chemistry Education from Jigawa State. And not to forget Professor Hafsat Umar Ganduje, the first female Professor of Educational Administration also from Jigawa State. Then there is Professor Maryam Mukhtar, the first female Professor of Broadcasting from the heart of the city of Kano.
Very proud of the batch of Women Professors and Associate Professors from Bayero University Kano:
