Inspiring story of Mohammed Abubakar, who moved from being an Aircraft Cleaner to Aircraft Pilot.
Mohammed Abubakar of #nigeria took his first job after high school after missing the admission deadline for the college he wanted to attend. What he didn’t know was that 24 years later, that moment would mark the beginning of his dream come true.
Mohammed got to work cleaning airplanes for Kabo Air for the equivalent of 50 cents a day, but after impressing his supervisors, he was promoted to ground staff and eventually participated in most of the departments.
Over the years, he was able to save to get his private license, then his company sponsored him so he could pursue a commercial one!
Two years after receiving his commercial license, Mohammed became a pilot for Azman Air. Unsurprisingly, he continued to work hard and persevere, and now he’s earned the title of captain!
The missed opportunity that led Mohammed into aviation turned out to be the best twist of fate he could have asked for! And his determination ever since has allowed him to chase – and achieve – a dream he might never have considered otherwise.
It just goes to show that there is no “right” path in life!
