Kano Girls Alumni marked a remarkable milestone with a purposeful outreach visit to Katsina State, strengthening the bond between NTIC Kano graduates and the dedicated Alumni Relation Officers who travelled on this impactful mission. The visit was designed to reconnect with alumnae residing in Katsina, understand their current achievements, and reinforce the commitment of the alumni network to supporting former students beyond their school years.
During the visit, Kano Girls Alumni representatives engaged with NTIC Kano alumnae living across different communities in Katsina, creating a warm atmosphere of sisterhood and professional encouragement. The officers held meaningful conversations that highlighted how NTIC values continue to shape the academic, medical, entrepreneurial, and professional paths of the alumnae.
One of the key outcomes shared by Kano Girls Alumni officers was the renewed commitment to strengthening alumni data collection, mentorship, and collaboration. Many alumnae expressed excitement at the idea of contributing to future outreach activities, serving as mentors, and offering career insights to current NTIC students and younger graduates.
The visit also gave Kano Girls Alumni officers an opportunity to listen to the experiences of alumnae who are now professionals in fields like medicine, technology, education, and business. Their stories revealed the tremendous growth happening within the NTIC Alumni community, especially among female graduates blazing trails within and beyond Katsina State.
Among the inspirational stories shared was the journey of several alumnae who credited Kano Girls Alumni engagement for keeping them connected and grounded. They shared how alumni platforms have helped them build stronger networks, gain internship opportunities, and remain emotionally connected to NTIC values even years after graduation.
The outreach visit by Kano Girls Alumni was not only about reconnecting socially but also about fostering long-term professional networks. Alumnae emphasized that maintaining strong ties brings opportunities for collaboration, support, and mentorship—values that the Alumni Office aims to uphold through future programs.
A highlight of the interactions was the discussion around career development, with many Kano Girls Alumni participants expressing their desire for more capacity-building events, such as webinars, professional workshops, and career talks. The officers assured them that NTIC will continue designing alumni-centered programs to help address these needs.
The journey from Kano to Katsina by the Kano Girls Alumni team was also a reaffirmation of the commitment to ensuring that alumnae living outside major cities remain included in all alumni-related activities. This inclusiveness is essential because it reflects NTIC’s broader vision: to build a supportive and united alumni family regardless of distance.
As expected, the Kano Girls Alumni outreach produced valuable insights that will shape future initiatives. Many alumnae requested stronger digital platforms for engagement, including alumni newsletters, WhatsApp communities, and periodic check-ins. These recommendations are now part of the upcoming alumni improvement plan.
Looking ahead, the Kano Girls Alumni office plans to increase the frequency of regional outreach efforts. Alumnae in Katsina expressed gratitude for being remembered and valued, and they look forward to regular visits that will continue to inspire academic and professional excellence across the NTIC community.
The outreach visit to Katsina State by the Kano Girls Alumni Relation Officer stands as a powerful reminder of how meaningful alumni engagement can uplift and reconnect former students. By building stronger networks, supporting the success of alumnae, and creating spaces for mentorship and growth, NTIC continues to invest in its greatest asset—its people.
