In the history of man, and majorly among all African people, birth name, praise name or rather aliases are used to reflect what the bearer stands for. Names are very important means through which individuals in the society generally articulate and express their ideologies, boast about their abilities and accomplishments, as well as criticize that of other people. With particular reference to birth names given to males and females have impact for them to excell in various areas of human endeavors in African communities, praise-naming as a pragma-semiotic act ties up with constructions and deconstructions of power, and so does have serious implications for the meanings attached to it, as well as the roles of the numenclature in African tradio-religion system. It is thus not unexpected that Sa’adatu is religiously interpreted and revered to be ‘Fortunate’. Sa’adat is a name common to Middle Easterners and North Africans. “Saadat” means “luck” in Arabic

For the sake of clarity, the bearer is blessed with Midas touches, and the cap aptly fits Hajiya Modibbo Kawu for that is who she is. Her mien and disposition has made her so likeable that no personality ignores or berates her as far as governance, leadership, community development, or social interaction is concerned. Her historic days at the Ministry of Tertiary Education, Science and Technology, Ilorin, not only resonate brilliance, elegance, intelligence, commitment, selflessness, humility, patriotism, and altruism in the lives of the people, but indeed in the annals of our emerging democratic nation.

She is, a woman of substance, a mother to many and a light of modesty to those who wish to learn. A one plus ultra of humaness. Few people surpass her in moral, social, leadership and spiritual excellence…

She is, a vehicle of kindness, committed to ensure sanity, humility beyond limit, compassion beyond measure, honesty beyond restrictions, straight like a tree, moderately sartorial, a station of comfort for weary hearts, knowledgeable and respectful without ego…

All who knew her widely acknowledge her benign & completely spiritual life. She’s a special kind of woman. She’s the one with the ability to be that rock and that foundation. She’s the woman who will sacrifice for your happiness, support your every dream and be your biggest fan. She’s the one that will inspire you, motivate you and challenge you to become a better person in every aspect of your life. She’s the woman who will fight to make things work and never take the easy way out. She’s a special kind of woman. She’s loyal. She’s intelligent. She’s passionate about life. She has soul. She has substance. She has a heart of gold. And she knows how to love unconditionally. She’s a special kind of woman. And she’s entirely too special to be with anything less than a queen.

She is Sa’adatu Modibbo Kawu.
