In what appears to be what the Hausa people describe as “nakasa ba kasawa ba ce” (roughly translated into English as “a disability doesn’t make one disabled”) Engausa Global Tech Hub, a leading institution dedicated to imparting digital skills mainly in Hausa, recently recognised the extraordinary achievements of Halima, a graduate described as a “person living with unique abilities.”
This was made known in a Facebook post by the digital skills institution today.
During the Engausa Startup Friday programme held at the Technology Incubation Centre (TIC) conference centre, Halima’s brilliance stood out among her peers.
The guest of honour, Mal. Kabiru Umar, the Technology Incubation Centre Manager, presented her with an award—a set of smartphone repair tool kits.
Halima’s recognition was not just a testament to her academic accomplishments but also highlighted the inclusive and empowering initiatives fostered by the ENGAUSA Global Tech Hub.
In an emotionally charged moment, Mal. Kabiru Umar praised Halima’s dedication and aptitude, noting the importance of fostering a diverse and inclusive tech community.
The award for the smartphone repair tool kit symbolises not only Halima’s academic prowess but also her potential to significantly contribute to the technology landscape.
As the news of Halima’s recognition spreads, it serves as an inspiration for others, reaffirming the commitment of the ENGAUSA Global Tech Hub to empower individuals from all walks of life.
Halima’s journey exemplifies the transformative impact of digital skills education and the possibilities that open up when technology is made accessible to everyone.
