The University of Sunderland in Nigeria, in partnership with the London Academy Business School (LABS), UK, has conferred an Honorary Diploma in Humanities on Alhaji Abdulsalam Abdulkarim Zaura, famously known as AA Zaura.
This is in recognition of his enduring commitment to youth empowerment, social transformation, poverty alleviation and educational development. The University of Sunderland in Nigeria is an extension of the renowned UK-based University of Sunderland, offering British-standard education through local partnerships. Its partner, London Academy Business School, is a leading UK business and technology education provider with operations in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
The distinguished honour was presented during a brief ceremony at the University of Sunderland’s Nigerian satellite campus, located within the premises of Nigeria’s Public Service Institute in Abuja. The event drew a select group of dignitaries from academia, civil society, and political stalwarts, who gathered to celebrate the legacy, inspiration, and impact of the President of the AA Zaura Foundation International.
Presenting the award, Dr Lawrence Jones-Esan, Global Chairman/CEO of the London Academy Business School and official representative of the University of Sunderland in Nigeria, lauded Alh. Zaura is “a champion of rights-based education, a social impact crusader and an unstoppable force of change for poverty eradication in Kano State.”
