THE UNDERRATED NORTHERN WOMAN

“Young lady, I know you are here to represent your father. So sit quietly and let me not hear a pip from you!”

“Is your masters degree for the bedroom or the kitchen?”

These are only a few denigrating views the average FEMALE, NORTHERN ADULT faces every single day in BUSINESS and PROFESSIONAL spaces in Nigeria.

My Guest was not an exception. On a lighter side, she shares how she worked with her father and ‘practically resigned every single day’ because ‘Daddy is a tough cookie to work with’ until she developed ‘the skin of a rhinoceros’.

Zainab Mustapha Jaji, daughter of the quintessential Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, has gone on to become a maverick business strategist and boardroom giant. She was a major player in the design and implementation of the IPPIS (her company, Alteq ICT Ltd, designed and implemented the payment system of the Federal Government uses to pay all civil servants). She owns farms, runs a human capital business (called SkillTensive Ltd), is a Member of several Boards (most recent is Non-Executive Director of Hotspot Nigeria Ltd (one of Nigeria’s biggest internet service providers) and also an Administrator (she was once the Chairperson, Governing Council of College of Education. Zing. Taraba State. North-East Nigeria).

Though from a privileged background, you will come to know Zainab as a THOROUGH STREET SMART HUSTLER. And while at this, she’s versatile: GOING FROM THE FARM TO THE HALLS OF THE CONGRESS IN THE USA 🇺🇸. We underrate the Northern woman at our peril.

Hajiya Zainab is an example of THE UNDERRATED NORTHERN NIGERIAN WOMAN that is not MINED and LEVERAGED for greater good.
