Meet Fatima Abba Gwadabe who has become the first commercial pilot in Kano state.

In order to reach her goal and become a top-ranked pilot, the Muslim woman has completed piloting Programs at Mid East Aviation Academy Jordan. She was among 100 of students who were sponsored by Kano Kwankwasiyya Government to study piloting at the Academy.

But it would be noted that Fatima hasn’t become a female pioneer in this difficult and challenging profession.
Two months ago all media reports exploded with the news about Nigeria’s first female helicopter captain, Abimbola Jayeola (Captain AB), emerged and made history that day.
Moreover, a female pilot has recently appeared in Katsina state. Ruqayya Suleiman was in the group of 15 other pilots trained in South Africa under a full Petroleum Trust Development Fund scholarship as international-certified commercial pilots.

The young woman not only got a unique profession, but managed to break the cultural barrier by acquiring a higher education which is quite unusual for girls from her area.

Until any Moslem/Northern girl that is brilliant from the lower class of the society becomes a pilot this will remain a tool for propaganda to my sense of judgement.

But if she takes off that head wrap in public she'll be assaulted.

Good

Nice one Kwanwanso. That Gov is really performing. He is changing the face of Kano and educating the masses.

Google is your friend pal

welldone. apc governor.

This is lovely, my host Governor is doing wonders in kano, the overhead bridges, street lights, roads, water projects, and others stuffs,
Except men light no to dey dey now ohh, due to the resources at his disposal I rate him 70% he can do more, especially in Sabon gari where we the Igbos run things and live.

I like pilots and the swag they display!

They deserve it Jo, is it easy to fly a plane?

Turbulence........that moment you remember God and you feel like opening the window to throw away those ungodly stuffs in your bag!

Arewa leading the nation in Aviation since time immemorial. From training schools to airlines and pilots, the region has given a good account of itself. Kudos Fatima.

...and there are many more coming. Governor Kwankwaso has once again proven why he is a progressive and a leading light in the APC with his people-oriented programmes and projects. His strides in education/sports/urban renewal/manpower development is impeccable to say the least, and is worthy of commendation by even the opposition.

Engr. Kwankwaso for Minister of Education
Gov. Fashola (SAN) for Minister of Works
General Buhari (GCFR) for President

Sai Buhari!!

#IN BUHARI WE TRUST#

APC govs r pacesetters, not like the PDP govs in kogi n benue who didnt pay Teachers 4 10months.

Congrats to the lady, but I see it as a celebration of clueless and mediocrity for people that have ruled nigeria 38 years now celebrating just a pilot when my immediate community can boast of 2 pilots. I see it as celebation of backwardness of the looters who have held this country captive and now shouting change.

Its PTDF that sponsored her not Kwankwanso......No be only kwankwanso.... sokwankwan

go make research about Kwankwaso administration and the scholarships awarded.
Kwankwaso has awarded More than 10, 000 scholarship both undergraduate and postgraduate. it's doesn't matter if you are from lower class or upper. both the poor are enjoying from the scheme. The criteria for the undergraduate degree self. Ssce from a reputable Government school with at least 6 credit.
within the year. kano state would produce more than 5000 professionals from different discipline and the number keep going.

no sentiment. Let's work towards One Nigeria

Nice!

C'mon don't segregate.

What difference will it make if she is from a lower background?

It still will be the same title: PILOT.

Can't you appreciate anything good?

Nice!...Yoruba girls are busy twerking.

Good morning Nairaland. Please how can one post a story in nairaland.?

Congrats
