Beginnings of My Educational Journey

I began my academic journey at Command Children School, Ribadu Cantonment, Kaduna, where I attended primary school from 1995 to 2003. This period was foundational in shaping my curiosity, discipline, and approach to learning.

In 2003, I moved on to Command Day Secondary School, Ribadu Cantonment, NDA Kaduna, where I studied until 2009. These years were crucial in developing not just my academic abilities but also my sense of responsibility, teamwork, and resilience.

A defining moment in my secondary school years was being entrusted with two major leadership roles simultaneously—Head Boy and Poultry Prefect. Holding both positions was highly unusual at the time due to the level of responsibility required, but I embraced the challenge and successfully balanced both roles.

As Head Boy, I was responsible for representing the student body, maintaining discipline, and serving as a bridge between students and school administration. Meanwhile, my role as Poultry Prefect required me to oversee the school’s agricultural project, ensuring the management and welfare of the poultry farm. Balancing these responsibilities taught me valuable lessons in time management, accountability, and leadership under pressure—skills that have continued to serve me in my professional career.

Upon graduating in 2009, I successfully passed the West African Examination Council (WAEC) exams, setting the stage for my higher education and future professional pursuits. These early experiences in leadership and responsibility helped lay the groundwork for my continued growth in healthcare, governance, and strategic leadership.
