In line with AUN’s commitment to community service, Zara Baba Shehu, a junior student majoring in Information Systems at the School of Information Technology and Computing, took it upon herself to help five pupils who had dropped out of Wuro-Hausa Primary School after losing their parents. On May 7, 2025, Zara enrolled the pupils back into school, covering the costs of their registration, uniforms, and all writing materials.
The children, who had been unable to continue their education due to the tragic loss of their parents, are now able to pursue their studies again. Zara shared her motivation for the act, saying, “I was motivated by the magnanimous outreach of AUN to its neighboring communities, and the fact that kindness, empathy, love, and care for others are beliefs being built into every AUN student as they undergo their course of study. There are many people out there who can’t afford some little things, and those little things are what some people need to get their lives back.”
The foster parents of the children expressed their deep gratitude to Zara for her kind gesture and extended their thanks to the entire management of AUN. They prayed for God’s blessings and for the replenishment of Zara’s purse for her generosity.
