Hadiza El-Rufai Shares Her School Result, "I Didn’t Start Out As A Good Student"

I didn’t start out as a good student – El-Rufai’s wife shares her school result sheet in reaction to video of teacher assaulting 3 year old pupil



Hadiza El-Rufai, wife of the former governor of
Kaduna State Nasir El-Rufai, has urged parents

and guardians not to give up on their children,
revealing that she wasn’t a ‘good student’ while
growing up.

Mrs El-Rufai stated this in a post on X in
reaction to the viral video of a teacher, Stella
Nwadigo, assaulting a three-year-old pupil,
Abayomi Michael, during a class lesson.

The footage shows the female teacher at Christ
Mitots School located in the Ikorodu area of
Lagos, violently smacking the young child for
struggling with the lesson. The video sparked
widespread outrage, leading to the teacher’s
subsequent arrest on Wednesday.

To encourage parents and guardians, El-Rufai’s
wife published her 1964 report from Provincial
Girls’ School in Kano which showed she
struggled at school at first.

The former Kaduna First Lady also published a
letter from the management of Shekara Girls
Primary School in Kano asking her parents to
pay her school fees (£2) for the 1970/71 session.

One of her results showed she scored five out of
50.
