"NTU has enabled me to grow personally as well as academically, enabling me to achieve things that I did not think possible" - Abdulmalik Badamasuiy. (Read more about Abdulmalik's impact at Nottingham Trent University here).

When on December 14th, 1969, friends and family members of Badamasuiy gathered for the naming of a ‘bouncing’ baby boy in Adavi, Kogi state, little did they know that the Boy will be highly respected by the Government and people of Texas in the United States.

Even his childhood did not give an inkling of a rising star. Eloquent and courageous, he always left footprint of an unrepentant advocate of a equality in his endeavours.
