Muslim” at Fouad Lababidi Academy Abuja.

readers to constantly aspire for a good and fulfilled life.

The Chairman at the occasion, Surveyor Bashir Shettima commended
the young author for taking the time of her tight schedule in
writing the book when some of her contemporaries are busy chatting
and gossiping on social media platforms.
He said: “It is amazing to realise that at this technological
period when our youths are busy gossiping, fighting, engaging in
hate speech and sharing fake news on social media, we still have a
young person like Fatima who advocates patience, tolerance and
honesty in the society through their intellectual ability.
The book reviewers at the occasion, Dr Surayya Hassan, Dr.
Safiya Abdullahi and Engr Faizah Sadiq were full of commendations
on the book which they unanimously described as “inspiring,
educative, motivating and instructive guides” towards living a
simple but fulfilled life.

uprightness and virtues.

purpose and the ideal situation in life.”
