Former First Lady Hajiya Aisha Muhammadu Buhari has said the greatest legacy of her late husband, former President Muhammadu Buhari, was his unwavering commitment to education and human capital development.

She made the remarks on Sunday at the groundbreaking ceremony for a new Computer Science Complex at Al-Qalam University in Katsina, financed from proceeds of the book “From Soldier to Statesman: The Legacy of Muhammadu Buhari.”

“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,” Aisha Buhari said.

The former First Lady said converting the proceeds of the book into an educational facility reflected 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 that countries investing in computing, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and digital innovation would shape the future.

The Vice-Chancellor of Al-Qalam University, Prof. Nasiru Musa Yauri, said the project would transform the teaching of computing-related disciplines.

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