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 pictured above with him said he was
a jolly good fellow.

"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.
