A student of Khalifa Isyaku Rabiu University (KHAIRUN) in Kano has brought pride to the institution following an outstanding performance at a recent Francophonie day celebration.

Aisha Sani Umar, a 300-level student in the Department of Radiography, Faculty of Allied and Medical Sciences, represented the university at the event held at Alliance Française in Kano.

International Francophonie Day is celebrated annually to honour the French language, cultural diversity, and solidarity among the over 369 million speakers worldwide. Established in 1970, it promotes values of peace, democracy, and education, often featuring cultural events, film screenings, and educational contests, particularly highlighting young people.

This was contained in a statement issued on Wednesday by the University Ag. Director, Public Relations, Media and Internal Affairs, Jibril Ado Dandawaki.

According to the statement, her participation formed part of activities marking the global celebration of Francophone culture and language.

Displaying confidence and eloquence, Aisha delivered a presentation in fluent French, where she highlighted the range of science-based programmes offered at KHAIRUN.

She also underscored the institution’s distinctive academic advantage, noting that students are given the opportunity to study additional international languages, including Arabic and French, to enhance their global competitiveness.

Observers at the event commended her composure and articulation, describing her performance as both engaging and representative of academic excellence.

SolaceBase reports that the university attributed her success to strong academic mentorship, particularly under the guidance of the institution’s French facilitator, Dr Fatima Dauda, whose efforts have been instrumental in grooming students with an international outlook.

“Aisha’s performance is seen as a reflection of KHAIRUN’s commitment to producing graduates who are not only academically sound but also equipped to thrive in a global environment.”

The university reaffirmed its dedication to fostering multilingual and internationally competent students capable of representing the institution on global platforms.
