I attended a Missionary school from Elementary to High School. After high school I was admitted to ATC/ABU Kano from 1967-1970. In 1971 after the completion of my course of studies, I was admitted to Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria. I graduated three years later with a Second-Upper class with honors degree in 1974.
I served a required one year of National Youth Service in Kano, before joining Ahmadu Bello University Zaria faculty in the Faculty of Education. In 1977/1978, I attended the University of Chicago, Illinois, where I earned a Master’s degree (MA).

I joined the City Board of Education in 1985, and the City University of New York (CUNY) system at Borough of community College Campus in 1987, until my retirement in July this year.
