IN SHORT

Dr Nuruddeen Muhammad has followed his political zeal to extraordinary heights while continuously cultivating a background in medicine. Politics, however, remains his greatest passion, a way to have a positive impact on the community around him. As the youngest appointed minister in Nigeria’s present era of democracy, his quest is not only to engage Nigerian politics, but to take part in the process of actualizing the potential of his country. “Nigeria has a vast amount of opportunity that can be difficult for people to see, but I know it’s there because it inspires me every day.”
