Bio
Aliyu M. Aliyu
Insightful researcher who has attention to detail.
Tom Brown CAMS
I have known Aminu Koguna for the past 15 years and in that time I have grown to appreciate his extensive level of diverse and integrated knowledge in different fields, his well mannered attitude with a more than balanced degree of eloquency. He is great fun to be with and a gentleman to the core. His presence in FGC Kano; which was the secondary school I met him in, spoke volumes of the then young Aminu who was known all over the school as the person to beat as he always was tops in not just his class but the whole wing of arts and sciences covering 6 arms. His University days saw this young man attempt things in science only dreamers could achieve. He is very energetic, enigmatic and full of enterpreneural drive and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone as he is a very trustworthy, well spoken gentleman who strives to attain perfection in all that he does...except offcourse he isnt good in football which is a shame!!!
