Sharing her story Maryam said “It was my dad’s dream I become a medical doctor.
Unfortunately I lost him at age 8. People around me, especially my mum,
nurtured the dream. She helped me keep the goal, it was very
challenging but having her around kept me focused. Luckily for me, I
finished my secondary education at an early age, and at 15, I gained
admission to study medicine at the University of Lagos. Here I am today,
I am being celebrated as the youngest medical student.”
