By Bashir Rabe Mani in Sokoto
Maryam Umar, a lady born without hands, has graduated from the Department of Economics, Gombe State University, in a story that has become an inspiration to many.
Maryam, who was born with physical disability, refused to allow her condition to become a barrier to her dreams. She remained determined to pursue education and has now achieved the remarkable milestone of earning a university degree.
Her story once again demonstrates that disability is not inability and should not prevent anyone from acquiring education or achieving their goals in life.
Her determination, resilience and doggedness serve as a shining example of patience, perseverance and reliance on Almighty Allah.
Maryam’s graduation has continued to attract encomiums, with many describing her as a symbol of hope for persons living with disabilities across the country.
