I hail from Bama LGA of Borno state, Nigeria. I am the former president of Federation of Muslim Women Association in Nigeria (FOMWAN), Bauchi state chapter, and presently a member Executive board and health committee of the organization. I am a registered Nurse Midwife and have worked with the State Ministry of Health as a Midwife Educator, Deputy Director Nursing Education, and then Director Nursing services, before I retired in 2008. I was involved in interpreting and implementing policies in nursing services and education, participation in the Bauchi state Ministry’s top Management meetings as well as participation in the national council on health as a member of the technical committee for Bauchi state.

My research career began in 2009. I was the field coordinator for the CIET -NEHSI project from 2009 -2013 where I was involved in the research design, analysis, reporting and dissemination of findings to communities and government counterparts for evidence-based health planning. I was the PI of the project “Video edutainment: Impact on infant and maternal outcomes in Toro, Nigeria” and also co-PI for the linked Synergy project “Synergies in video-edutainment: Child spacing and regional training for rollout in Bauchi state” under IMCHA initiative supported by CIHR, Global Affairs Canada and IDRC from 2015 to 2020. I am currently the Co PI for the project “Impact oriented dialogue for culturally safe adolescent sexual and reproductive health in Bauchi State, Nigeria”. This five year project is funded by CIHR.
