Airplane cleaner becomes pilot after 24 years of hard work

You can always find a way if you have the desire. No matter where you are in life, if you put your all into your desires and goals and work hard, you will succeed in reaching your goals.

The 24-year experience of the aviation industry, who is from Nigeria, began his work as an airplane cleaner for a daily salary of approximately $0.50 cents. Nevertheless, after putting in more than 24 years of hard work, one man’s dream of becoming a pilot has finally come true! Now, Mohammed Abukar sports a pilot’s hat along with his pilot’s license.

His desire to continue his education at a higher level began when he was very young. He left his small Nigerian community to enroll in Kaduna Polytechnic after completing high school. He was unable to enroll in college as a result of the fundamental criteria’ late submission.

However, Abubakar took the job and was eventually promoted to ground staff and later to the cabin crew. Abubakar went on to work for Aero Contractors as a flight attendant where he was able to use his years of experience and add value to the company. Although the pay was much higher as a flight attendant, Abubakar wasn’t satisfied and still had dreams of becoming a pilot.

Abubakar was able to enroll in a pilot training programme in Canada with the aid of his managing director, earning his private pilot’s license before going on to earn his commercial pilot’s license. He is currently an employee of Kano, Nigeria-based Azman Air Services Limited.

Azman Air posted a picture of Abubakar earning his fourth bar, signifying his promotion to captain, on Twitter. The example of Abubakar demonstrates that ambitions are achievable with perseverance and determination.
