Nigeria's oldest secondary school student, Mohammud Modibbo died
yesterday September 10th at the age of 94. A JSS 2 student of School for
Arabic Studies (SAS), Mohammud who was unable to go to school as a
child because he worked as a trader, decided to enter primary school in his
mid-80s.
Speaking about Mohammud, his teacher Abdulkarim Ibrahim, who is

"During classes, he was very attentive and asked questions when he
didn't understand, either asking the teacher or a student sitting beside
him," he told BBC Hausa service.
His teacher said the late Mohammud had dreamt of going to a University.
