In a remarkable feat of balancing student leadership with academic rigour, Abubakar Sadiq Aliyu, the former Secretary General of the University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) Students’ Union Government, has officially graduated with a First-Class Honours degree.
Aliyu, who studied in the Department of Fisheries, achieved this academic milestone during the 2024/2025 academic session. His success serves as a powerful rebuttal to the notion that high-level student politics must come at the expense of academic excellence.
Throughout his tenure as Secretary General, Aliyu was known for his administrative discipline and commitment to student welfare. Supporters and colleagues have hailed his graduation as "proof that you can serve, lead, and still emerge at the top of your class."
Key takeaways from his journey include:
Time Management: Successfully navigating the demands of the UNIMAID SUG secretariat while maintaining a perfect grade point average.
Focus and Consistency: Demonstrating that extracurricular engagement can enhance, rather than distract from, academic focus.
Discipline: Achieving a First-Class in the specialized field of Fisheries, which requires intensive research and practical laboratory work.
The university community has been filled with congratulatory messages for Aliyu, with many noting that his achievement sets a high standard for incoming student representatives. His journey is being cited as an inspiration for students to pursue leadership roles without fear of compromising their primary purpose at the university.
