By: Dr Saleh Abba
Time flown by and it’s been incredibly four years since I last connected with the extraordinary Dr Mariya Mahmoud Bunkure. But let me tell you, the impact she continues to make in people’s lives is simply awe-inspiring. A captivating journey filled with love, resilience, and unwavering support.
Mariya — more than just a devoted housewife, she personifies the ideal partner that any man would be proud to have by his side. Her dedication to creating a loving home, filled with warmth and care, knows no boundaries.
Hailing proudly from the beautiful town of Bunkure in Kano State, Mariya embodies the values and traditions of her heritage. Like a guiding light, she carries the spirit of her hometown wherever she goes, igniting positivity and strength in all those she encounters.
But it is in her role as a mother that Mariya truly shines; she isn’t simply an excellent mother, she is a fierce protector, ensuring the safety and wellbeing of every child under her watchful eye.
Her love, compassion, and unwavering commitment nurture and empower the next generation.
As a sister, Dr Mariya Mahmoud goes above and beyond, consistently exceeding expectations. She is an unwavering source of support, always there to lend a helping hand or a listening ear. Her sisters know they can rely on her without hesitation, as she never fails to inspire and uplift them.
Mariya’s philanthropic endeavors are legendary, driven by an unquenchable thirst to make a difference – a philanthropist who never tires, constantly seeking out new ways to impact lives positively. With her tireless dedication, she transforms the world around her one act of kindness at a time.
But let’s not forget that Mariya is also a force to be reckoned with in her professional life as a talented family physician. Her love for her job knows no bounds, as she combines her expertise with a deep sense of care and compassion. Through her healing hands and kind heart, she touches the lives of countless patients, leaving a lasting imprint of hope and wellness.
And let me share with you a truly remarkable story that encapsulates the extraordinary nature of Dr Mariya Mahmoud. Together, we once supported a divorcee battling severe depression. With her unwavering encouragement, Mariya convinced me to conduct a home visit. What followed was nothing short of life-changing. Mariya took it upon herself to care for this woman and her children, and their lives were forever transformed by her selflessness and compassion. To this day, that woman continues to communicate with me, eternally grateful for what Mariya did for her through our joint efforts.
Dr Mariya Mahmoud, an iron lady, has touched the lives of many with her indomitable spirit and unwavering dedication. Her boundless love, strength, and passion for making a difference inspire all those fortunate enough to cross her path.
May the world continue to be illuminated by incredible individuals like Dr Mariya Mahmoud, who shape lives, foster empowerment, and leave an eternal legacy of love and compassion.
Congratulations to our brand new minister norminee, May Allah bless and guide you through your national assignment.
