Hajiya (Dr.) Hadiza Baba’s own academic pedigree is both extensive and meticulously constructed, reflecting a deep-seated belief that an educator must first be a perpetual student. Her foundational years at St. Louis Primary School, Kano, and Federal Government College, Ijanikin, Lagos, provided a broad, national perspective. This was followed by a formidable academic journey through some of Nigeria’s most prestigious institutions: a B. Agric degree from Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, and a succession of specialized postgraduate diplomas from Bayero University, Kano, and the Federal College of Education, Kano, in Management and Education. Uniquely, her unwavering quest for pedagogical mastery is underscored by her pursuit of a Nigerian Certificate in Education (NCE) in English, undertaken concurrently with her leadership responsibilities. This demonstrates an unparalleled commitment to understanding the classroom from the ground up.
