Having set a new record in Nigerian history, Mrs. Aisha
Alhassan will forever be remembered as the first female
governor in Nigeria.
Born Jummai Ibrahim Abubakar on the 16th day of
September, 1959, in Jalingo, Taraba state, Mrs. Aisha
Alhassan has had always had a knack for politics.
At just a little over 18 years as a prelim student in
Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria, she contested for
the post of the SUG Vice President against two other
contestants. Winning that election made the only female
executive and the only person who wasn’t an
undergraduate.
If that doesn’t prove how strong a woman she is, read on.
Back in 1979, as a student, she met her first husband and
father of her three children – two girls and a boy. Her
husband, Prof. Ango Abdullahi was then Deputy Vice
Chancellor of her school and regularly represented the
Vice Chancellor at the meetings with the SUG executives.
He later became the Vice Chancellor three months after
their marriage.
After her first baby in 1980, Aisha’s new status of mother
and wife made her switch from her pure science
background to having a diploma in Law. That didn’t stop
her from doing so well as in 1986, a year after her son
was born, she was called to the Nigerian Bar. Two years
later, she had her last child.
Thats not all, Mrs. Alhassan has also had a lot of firsts. In
1996, she rose through the ranks and became the first
female Chief Magistrate in the FCT; in 1997, she was
appointed the first female Attorney General of Taraba
state; in 2002, the first female secretary of the FCT
Judicial Service Committee; and in 2003, the first female
Chief Registrar of the FCT High Court. She voluntarily
retired from the FCT Judiciary as the Chief Registrar in
2009.
If political interest was a genetic trait, Aisha got hers from
her father. Her father, Alhaji Abubakar Ibrahim, was a
former member of the House of Representatives in the
first republic. Her brother, Senator A. A. Ibrahim Jnr., was
a Senator for 8 years representing Taraba Central Zone.
It could be because of their influence that she too
become a member of the PDP in 2005. However, she
wasn’t politically active until 2010 when she contested
and won the Senatorial seat for her zone.
After her marriage to Engr. M. S. Alhassan in 2007, she is
now referred to as Senator Aisha Jumai Alhassan. And
soon, after her swearing in, that too will change as she
will then be referred to as Her Excellency, Governor Aisha
Jummai Alhassan.
