Moral Upbringing

At Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Students do not only go there for Academics, but also they are inculcated with Morals. During the 4 years I spent in the School, being in the Northern part of Nigeria and also in a more religious environment, I was made to understand that I need not be half naked or expose my intricate parts as a woman to be beautiful. Growing up with this mentality has earned me respect in my society today and I am grateful for this.
