Dr. Ibrahim Hassan Abdulkareem
An anonymous speaker once said
"Excellence is never an accident; it is the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, skillful execution and the vision to see obstacles as opportunities", in our world today, attaining excellence especially in academics can be quite challenging because of the less attention and reward attached to it, this I think should necessitate the need to celebrate people of excellence in our society at every little opportunity we have, people who have against all odds beaten the hurdles and come out victorious in their pursuit of academics, they are the real heroes and role models of the upcoming generation.
Ibrahim Hassan Abdulkareem also known as Akareem is a bonafide product of department of mathematics, Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto where he obtained his bachelor's degree under the mentorship and supervision of Dr. Aremu Kazeem publishing two papers in the process in the years 2017 and 2018.

Akareem, the newest PhD holder in town, has made the 105 family really proud being the first to attain this academic milestone.
Many who knew him before now are aware of his quite brilliant history, right from his primary, secondary to university education, Akareem secured more than 3 awards of academic excellence and 2 scholarship awards.

He also secured the PTDF scholarship award in 2016 and the Petchra Pra Jom Klao PhD scholarship award at the king Mongkut University of Technology Thailand (KMUTT) in 2018.
Akareem's PhD research is based on numerical optimization with applications in image processing, supervised by the erudite Prof. Poom Kumam who is the head of Center of Excellence in Theoretical and Computational studies (TaCS-CoE) and KMUTT Fixed Point Theory and Applications Research Group.

One can easily see that Akareem has been lucky to pass through some of the best mentorships. His mentorship can not be complete without mentioning his pioneer mentor Prof. Taofeek Ibrahim who happens to be his father.
