In a country where many graduates struggle with unemployment and societal pressure to secure white-collar jobs, Professor Nasiru Hassan Wagini stands out as a powerful example of humility, resilience, and enterprise. A lecturer at Umaru Musa Yar’adua University (UMYU), Katsina, Professor Wagini is not only a respected academic in the field of Plant Physiology but also a regular vegetable seller at Batsari market in Katsina State.

Professor Wagini has become a local icon, showing that no work is beneath anyone, regardless of their education or positi...
