According to Opera News, Hauwa is the first Northern lady to study Aeronautical Engineering, making her part of the very few females in Nigeria to earn an engineering degree. She said she developed a passion for Aero-space at a very young age while playing with airplane toys and kites with the hope of becoming a pilot later in life.

”As a child, my dream was to become a pilot and it was partly a fallout of that encounter I narrated earlier. I used to imagine what it was like for pilots to take off and land, most especially at night, when one could barely see far and also, flying in the sky for hours,” she said.

”Over the years, as I grew older, I became more aware of the need for aviation safety in the country due to the plane crashes we had in the past. So, I settled for aeronautical engineering,” she added.

Hauwa mentioned that she has struggled with forming words correctly, having difficulty remembering or naming letters, numbers, and colors and it was during her studies in the United Kingdom, her condition was diagnosed as Dyslexia.

Dyslexia is a disorder characterized by having problems forming words correctly, having difficulty remembering or naming letters, numbers, and colors, and in the early stage of a child, it also involves difficulty in learning nursery rhymes or playing rhyming games.
