When Mohammed Abubakar joined Azman Air Services Limited, Nigeria’s Kano based domestic airline company over two decades ago, little did he imagine that he would ever become such a relevant person deserving of no less a position than a captain.

A Nigerian man who got employed 24 years ago as an aircraft cleaner at Air Azman has persevered and rose through the ranks to become a captain in the aviation industry.

However, his perseverance and determination has paid off. He has been awarded his “fourth bar to become a captain”.

Photos and the success story of Mohammed Abubakar became viral on social media after a colleague of his posted them on twitter.

He captioned the photos: “He Joined the Aviation industry 24years ago as Aircraft Cleaner. Today He is getting the Fourth Bar to becoming a CAPTAIN. Congratulations Mohammed Abubakar from all of us @AirAzman.”
