Buhari’s greatest legacy is investment in education — Aisha

Former First Lady Aisha Muhammadu Buhari highlighted her late husband's dedication to education as his most significant legacy during the groundbreaking ceremony for a new Computer Science Complex at Al-Qalam University in Katsina.

This initiative is financed by proceeds from the book "From Soldier to Statesman: The Legacy of Muhammadu Buhari." Aisha Buhari emphasized that the family's resolve is to preserve Buhari's legacy through investments in knowledge and innovation, rather than constructing monuments.

"Today marks far more than the commencement of a new building; it marks the beginning of a vision that equips future generations with the knowledge and skills required to thrive in an increasingly digital world," she stated.

The greatest memorial we can build is not merely one of concrete and steel, but one that nurtures knowledge, character and opportunity for generations yet unborn.

Aisha Buhari further explained that converting book proceeds into an educational facility embodies the belief that "the greatest memorial we can build is not merely one of concrete and steel, but one that nurtures knowledge, character and opportunity for generations yet unborn." She noted the increasing importance of computing, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and digital innovation in shaping the global future.

The Vice-Chancellor of Al-Qalam University, Prof. Nasiru Musa Yauri, called the project a "landmark intervention" that will transform computing education. The complex will feature lecture halls, an auditorium, computer laboratories, and offices for academic staff, equipped with modern facilities.

It is very dear to our hearts, a project that promises to bring unquantifiable benefits to our community.
