Abba Anwar

My name is Abba Habibu Anwar of The Guardian newspaper, I was born in Kano state, Nigeria. Having completed my primary education at Goron Dutse Primary school, I proceeded to Rumfa College, Kano. I graduated from Bayero University, Kano, with BSc. Mass Communication.
After my graduation I also bagged Masters in Development Studies and MSc Mass Communication.

As a professional journalist I worked with many media organisations for over two decades. I am presently freelancing with The Guardian newspaper, Nigeria, as a Senior Correspondent from Kano state.
To also get capacity in good governance, I attended many training programmes in countries like Ghana, United Kingdom, United States of America and many workshops within Nigeria.
Engagement with non-governmental organisations prepared me with so many advocacy campaign strategies both within and outside Nigeria.
