In 2020, he simultaneously took the National Business and Technical Examination Board (NABTEB) exams and the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Exams (UTME), wherein he displayed an uncommon academic record.

With a UTME score of 316 and As and Bs from NABTEB, he secured a merit admission to study Chemical Engineering at ATBU Bauchi and also became MISTAK's top JAMB scorer.

His love for Chemical Engineering stems from deep curiosity in the transformative potentials of the processing industry, how it can be optimized, and its accompanied environmental impacts reduced. His career interests are deeply rooted in social entrepreneurship, the processing industry, and mitigating climate change/pollution impacts.

One of his long-term goals is contributing his quota to Nigeria's Hydrochlorofluorocarbon Phase-out Management Plan project and the Commonwealth Foundation's COP28 fossil fuels phase-out initiative by improving existing processes and advocating for the adoption of green energy.

At ATBU, Abdulrahaman began a journey of self-discovery and soon discovered his interest in other facets of life, such as writing, leadership, agriculture, and entrepreneurship.

He is a prolific scholarship hunter, a budding farmer, an academic excellence enthusiast, and aspires to own a YouTube channel where he will teach Chemical Engineering someday.

As a writer, Abdulrahaman is a member of the ATBU writers' community and has been published in local and international online journals/magazines. His writing is published or forthcoming in SprinNG journal, Eboquills anthology, Blue Marble review, Above the Rain Collective's Final Passenger Speculative Anthology, World Voice Magazine, and elsewhere. He was longlisted for the 2023 Abubakar Gimba Prize for CNF and the 2023 Kikwetu Prize for Flash Fiction.

Abdulrahaman is also a lover of Mathematics and has participated in the 2022 and 2023 International Youth Math Challenge (IYMC), acing the Qualification rounds in both years and bagging a certificate of participation.

Outside academics, he doubles as the PRO to NAKOSS ATBU and the Academic Director to NAES ATBU. He is also interested in Tech and has basic coding skills. He hopes to better his coding skills and become a full-stack developer before graduation.

Abdulrahaman is a multifaceted individual who hopes to become many things—a reliable process engineer, a tech enthusiast, a social entrepreneur, an Agropreneur, a bodybuilder, and a Commonwealth Short Story Prize winner someday in the future.
