Mohammed Abubakar

On July 31, Mohammed Abubakar of Kano, Nigeria, made headlines when he received his fourth aviation bar which qualified him as a pilot. What stood out for many was the fact that Abubakar began his career as an aircraft cleaner, gradually rising in rank until he was able to secure his certifications enabling him to operate a plane. He has since been a member of the crew at Azman Air Services Limited, based in Kano, Nigeria.
