The boy was reportedly dressed in his new school uniform and was seated in class with other children.

Husseni confessed that he was dreaming of becoming a teacher so that he would be able to help those who are physically challenged like him.

However, Hajara Abubakar, the boy’s mother, who is also physically challenged, has another ambition for Husseni. She hopes that her son becomes a governor so as to pay back to society the favour he has received from Governor Al-Makura.
