Tell us about your up-bringing

I was born in Jajimaji, Karasuwa, Yobe State. I am 35 years old. I completed my primary school and then got married, though we later separated. I even inherited driving from my father who was a driver for a decade. Also, my brothers were drivers and I am the only female among them, that is why I joined the line of driving.

Where Did You Learn How To Drive A Truck In Particular?

I learnt how to drive through my husband. At first I usually observed how he drove and I made up my mind that one day I would also learn. Later, I began to ask him to teach me driving. The first time he disagreed on my proposal, but eventually, he agreed because he thought I would not be able to cope because it is not easy. Not every male driver can drive a truck talk more of me being a female. I insisted that I was ready to learn, so he gave the directive to his partner to teach me and that was how I began to learn.

How Many Years Have You Spent As A Driver?

I started driving since I was a teenager. I started by driving up and down the main road till I eventually became a perfect and guaranteed driver. So when my husband and I got separated, I obtained a driving license and identification card from Dangote cement Transport, Obajana. Now I have spent 12 years working with the company. We are working together with my former husband in the same company.

Usually, I prefer driving overnight. I drive around 1:30 to 3:00am in the night to everywhere I am going across the country.

How Did You Become A Part Of This Business As A Driver?

Yes, I believed that driving is a very good business and that anyone can be a part of it, so I decided on choosing it as my best option. That is the reason I am in it, even though I am a female.

What Is Your Ambition In This Business?

I thank Almighty Allah, who created me, and decide to make me a truck driver. Obviously, I obtained so many things through this business, they are uncountable. I have established a lot of businesses including transportation as well. Now as I am discussing with you, I own my personal truck which I gave to someone else to do the driving, I thank him (Almighty Allah).

I really appreciate the fact that the chairman of the company, Aliko Dangote used to offer me direct access to any one of his managers including himself. I am specially treated, better than all my colleagues everywhere we gather at any given station, whether on queue of fueling, loading or off-loading, as a result of my gender.

What Is Your Message To All Females?

Being a female by sex should not disqualify you from being a driver. I am not the only woman doing it. We are many, I am from Yobe State and Hajiya Rafi’atu is from Katsina State. We are all from the North. I see nothing difficult in it, all you need is just determination, simple.

Are You Considering Marriage?

Yes, I am considering marriage and I am ready for it. Once I get a good proposal, I will go for it.

Do You Have Children With Your Former Husband?

No, I have no child with him.

Madam, whether people admit it or not, whether they appreciate it or not, whether they insult you or not, You are a good example to millions of people out there... #letthemsay#

Women sha!
Your husband led u into your destiny and you find ur career but all u paid him for is to start sleeping with other drivers (I presumed) breaking the man's heart as you have the gut to work in the same company with him without considering the chance to re-unit
