From the lecture halls of Baze University in Abuja to the vibrant academic corridors of Middlesex University in Dubai, and now the proud completion of her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Zakiyya Malami is charting a course defined by excellence, purpose, and unstoppable ambition.
The daughter of Nigeria’s former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami SAN, Zakiyya is proving that success is not just inherited — it is earned through passion, resilience, and relentless determination. At just 25, she has built a towering profile that speaks volumes: a Bachelor of Science in Business Management (2018–2021), a Master of Business Administration in Marketing (2022–2023), and a successful completion of her NYSC, all while managing the demands of marriage, motherhood, and entrepreneurship.
Indeed, Zakiyya isn’t just surviving — she’s thriving. As the founder and CEO of Zeema Kiddies and Zeema Emporium, she has built brands that reflect her creativity, drive, and business acumen. Her journey is one of grit and grace, balancing the pressures of academic excellence with the challenges of running two businesses and raising two children.
But beyond the accolades lies a story of gratitude and unbreakable familial bonds. Zakiyya attributes her triumphs to the enduring support of her father, whom she described as her backbone, teacher, and greatest cheerleader.
“Thank you, Baba, for believing in me, standing by me through every challenge, and always reminding me of my strength,” she shared. “Your sacrifices, your prayers, your guidance — they are the roots of every success I celebrate today. Allah ya baku Aljannatul Firdausi.”
Her story is more than a personal achievement — it is a beacon of hope for young Nigerian women navigating the complex demands of modern life. Zakiyya Malami stands as a bold example that women can lead, learn, love, and launch — all on their own terms.
In a world craving inspiration, Zakiyya’s journey is not just impressive — it’s iconic.
