Despite the criticism against Nigerians in different parts of the world, Nigerians have continued to prove their intelligence wherever they find themselves. Academically speaking, Nigerians in the diaspora always emerge among the best graduating students in various fields of study.
Ismail Aliyu Adnan, a beneficiary of the Kano state scholarship scheme, with his emergence as the best graduating student at the Near East University Faculty of Medicine, Cyprus, has made Nigeria proud. He is proof of the intellectual capability of Nigerians.
Ismail Aliyu Adnan, an indigene of Gwale LGA, Kano State, has set an unprecedented record at the faculty. He became the first person from Kano state and the second person from Nigeria to have emerged as the best graduating student, topping both the national and international students.
Ismail said that without Allah, family and friends who supported him throughout his journey, achieving this success would have been impossible.
Ismail’s academic success demonstrates that Nigerians in the diaspora are out for excellence. He has not only made his family and Kano state government proud, but he has also represented Nigeria to the rest of the world as home to hardworking individuals.
Ismail’s friends recollect that he had exceptional abilities as a student at the Kano State College of Art, Science, & Remedial studies (CAS) and at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, where he always emerges among the best students.
In his valedictory speech, he thanked Allah for guiding him through the challenging and exhausting journey, his professors, family, and friends for the support, and the Kano State government for the scholarship he was given to pursue his dream profession. He finished his speech by urging all his colleagues to leave a legacy wherever they find themselves, especially through positively impacting the lives of others.
