By Aiyekooto Reporters
History has been made again in the Kyari family. Dr. Fatima Kyari, the younger sister of Nigeria’s renowned crime-busting officer Super Cop Abba Kyari, has achieved an extraordinary feat — becoming the first female Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon from Northern Nigeria.
Her success marks not only a personal triumph but also a defining moment for women in medicine across the region and the nation at large.
A Legacy of Excellence
The name Kyari has long been associated with excellence, service, and integrity. Just as her elder brother, DCP Abba Kyari, set an unprecedented record in fighting violent crimes, Kidnappings and terrorism across the country as the youngest Deputy Commissioner of Police in Nigeria and the only police officer ever recognized by the National Assembly for outstanding service 2020, tripple IGP medals for Courage 2012, 2013, 2014 and Presidential medal for Courage 2016. Dr. Fatima Kyari has now carved her own name in gold — this time in the world of advanced medicine.
Through resilience, discipline, and unwavering hard work, she has emerged as a northern star in the demanding field of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, a specialty that combines medicine, dentistry, and surgical expertise.
Breaking Barriers and Inspiring Generations
By successfully passing the Part II FMCDS Fellowship Examination, Dr. Fatima Kyari has shattered a long-standing glass ceiling in medical specialization. Her journey represents the determination and brilliance of Northern Nigerian women who continue to defy stereotypes and redefine professional excellence.
Her remarkable achievement brings institutional honor to the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital (UMTH), now officially recognized as the institution that produced the first female Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon in Northern Nigeria — a feat confirmed by Aiyekooto Reporters.
A Symbol of Hope and Progress
Dr. Fatima Kyari’s success story is more than just a personal accomplishment; it is a national milestone. She has become a beacon of hope for young women in medicine, proving that with hard work, vision, and faith, no barrier is insurmountable.
Her achievement also underscores the importance of supporting women in specialized medical fields — a step that will undoubtedly encourage future generations to pursue excellence in science and healthcare.
A Northern Star Rises
In a region often challenged by limited access to advanced medical training, Dr. Fatima Kyari stands out as a trailblazer, a history maker, and a symbol of Northern brilliance.
Her story is one of courage, persistence, and excellence — and today, she rightfully takes her place among Nigeria’s most inspiring achievers.
Congratulations to Dr. Fatima Kyari — Northern Nigeria’s first female Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon.
Your achievement is not only a personal victory but a shining inspiration for all.
