In memoriam
Hajjiya Bisola Rahama Zakariyya
Principal, Girls’ Section · 2020
For over a decade, Hajjiya Bisola Rahama Zakariyya led the girls’ section of El-Kanemi College with warmth and quiet dedication. Students remember her as a mother figure as much as a principal, always ready with counsel, whether in the classroom or in private conversation. Her passing in November 2020 was felt deeply across the College and the wider community she served.
May Allah grant her Jannatul Firdaus and forgive her shortcomings. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un.
