In our contemporary Society being a first Born son automatically places a crown leadership on you as your siblings looked up to you and parents need you to become a pillar they can rely on to carry their name.However my leadership journey became more pronounce as I travel some hundreds of kilometer after finishing my Higher education in an effort to pursue my college at the prestigious University Ahmadu Bello University Zaria ,one of the best in the country and the best in Northern Nigeria, a move that was aberrant to people from our own part of the country.
Starting my first year in the college I was enfatuated with the serene environment ,the multicultural people and robust intellectual academia and I wished my people back home can have opportunity to partake in this celestial academia.
I immediately joined Leadership as the first Senator representing Kebbi medial students association and later form a coalition with the little members of the state in other Medical fields of Veterinary, Pharmacy and Nursing to represent them in my second year returning as a senator, for which I received an award of excellence for that year.
Using connections obtained from the networking obtained being a senator involving other allied health courses and other courses in general . I facilitated a career guidance to Secondary School students from university Students in other fields of Pharmacy,Nursing, Law and through that guidance we are able to a number of them Choosing our Alma mata and about 5 got admission into various courses of their choice.With two currently studying Medicine in his 5th year whom I continue to mentor till today.
I was also among the Pioneers responsible for the amalgamation of three sister state association of Medical Students from Kebbi my dear State, Zamfara and Sokoto to form what is called SOKEZAMSA Sokoto kebbi Zamfara Medical Students Association. I served in multiple capacities from being the Secretary General to Vice President for 2 years and Eventually the President of which I enjoyed Awards of recognition for being a Pioneer, award Of excellence.
My most Challenging part was when I was I was the Vice-president and was tasked to conduct the first ever Sendfortht Graduation dinner for the first set of the SOKEZAMSA.
The main challenge was selecting the right people to form the committee that are as motivated to see the job done.Then there was the issue of sourcing for funds as the association is just in its baby steps and has not save much. Had to use my influence from the previous Alumni and other stakeholders outside to source for funds, however the amount was still not enough we had to sacrifice from our Pockets to ensure the success of the occasion.
Getting a time to meet with the committee was an issue as it was a period of exams everyone was busy and finding the time all members of the committee are free once a week was a difficult, So we had to employ virtual meetings via Whats-app at the time.
Thou exhausting and enormously challenging the event was a success and I learned that you have to learn to delegates Jobs to people and follow up.
