Dan Yakubu, a young Nigerian man is now being celebrated after beating the odds as an Almajiri boy to make out something for himself in life.

Yakubu, a graduate of BSc. Economics with Second Class Honours from the University of Maiduguri, Borno State is part of the 2019 Batch A Corp members that have just come out from the NYSC Orientation Camp at the Kaiama NYSC Orientation Camp, Kolokuma LGA, Bayelsa State.

The little Dan Yakubu was separated from the comfort of his family who are based in Potiskum, Yobe State and taken to fend for himself as an Almajiri.

In the course of his begging (Almajiranci), Dan Yakubu ran into a kind-hearted generous Hajiya named 'Fatima A. Modibbo'. The altruistic Hajiya Fatima instantly took interest in the little boy. Stimulated by his brightness and smartness, she fostered him and singlehandly sponsored his education from primary school up to the level he found himself today.
