A Biography in Honour of Our Beloved Mother
27th October 1956 - 27th October 2026
Today, we gather not just to celebrate 70 years of life, but 70 years of grace, strength, love, and service. Our mother, Hajiya Aminat Abubakar, is a woman whose life tells a story of faith, hard work, and devotion to family.
Hajiya Aminat was born on 27th October 1956 in Kaiama, Kwara State, at Kuligizin Compound. She was the only child of her mother, a position that shaped her into a strong, independent, and caring woman from a very young age. Her father hailed from Yashikira, Baruten Local Government Area of Kwara State.
Her educational journey began at LEA Kaiama Primary School, where she completed Primary 1 to 7. Driven by a thirst for knowledge and skill, she proceeded to Ilorin, where she obtained a certificate course at the Ilorin LGA Secretariat as a Typist. In an era when formal education and professional skills for women were not common, her achievement was remarkable. It showed foresight, discipline, and determination to be useful to herself and to society.
Hajiya Aminat got married in 1970 and has built a successful family life. As a mother, she raised five children with love, guidance, and prayers. Today, by the grace of Allah, those children have blessed her with 18 grandchildren. To see three generations gathered around one woman is one of the greatest blessings a mother can receive, and Hajiya Aminat has it.
Professionally, she worked as a Typist at the Kwara State Printing Press in Ilorin, and later at the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), Bompai, Kano. Her dedication, discipline, and professionalism contributed greatly to her success in the workplace.
Beyond formal employment, Hajiya Aminat is an entrepreneur engaged in general merchandise, as well as land and property trading within the FCT Municipal Area Council. Through her business activities, she has shown remarkable enterprise, determination, and resourcefulness.
Hajiya Aminat Abubakar is widely regarded as a successful wife, devoted mother, loving grandmother, professional, and businesswoman. Her life reflects hard work, resilience, and dedication to family and community.
On this beautiful occasion of her 70th birthday, we pray that Allah, the Most Merciful, grants her many more years in good health, peace of mind, and honour. May He protect her, increase her in wisdom and faith, and allow her to witness the continued success of her children and grandchildren.
Happy 70th Birthday, our dear Mama, Hajiya Aminat Abubakar. We love you deeply, and we are so proud of you.
YOUR FAMILY

Last year they downplayed us by saying set-piece and dark arts and now its boring football. Bet your house they would swap their entire squad & manager and his dog for ours. Dishonest discourse to downplay our dominance. 14/15 wins. We are unreal.

What wonderful news to return home to, and what a proud moment for Nigeria!
As First Lady Oluremi @SenRemiTinubu and I returned from engagements in Akwa Ibom and Rivers States this evening, I saw her keenly watching the Flamingos’ World Cup final against Japan. What a joy to see our girls defeat Japan 2–1 and become the first African team to lift the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup trophy.
Our young girls have conquered the world, made history and brought immense honour to Nigeria and the African continent.
I followed your remarkable journey throughout the tournament in Morocco, and I remember your promise after the semi-final victory to bring the trophy home. Today, you have kept that promise with courage, discipline and unwavering belief in yourselves.
Your triumph goes far beyond football. Millions of young Nigerian girls will look at what you have achieved and know that they, too, can dream big, compete with the best and reach the pinnacle of their chosen fields.
I congratulate every member of this exceptional team, the coaching crew, the Nigeria Football Federation, the National Sports Commission and everyone who contributed to this historic achievement.
On behalf of the government and people of Nigeria, I salute our world champions. You have written a glorious new chapter in our nation’s sporting history.
Nigeria celebrates you. I celebrate you.

President, Federal Republic of Nigeria
