She did this prior to her husband Waziri Adamawa Alhaji Atiku Abubakar ascending the political responsibility of becoming an elected Vice President federal republic of Nigeria in 1999 and she has never been deterred with any egocentric tendency of abandoning her avowed role of shining the light for others to see their future through the acquisition of sound education via modern tools which include Information Communication Technology-ICT.
