About Me
I am Sheikh Yusuf, a distinguished Chief Lecturer at the Department of Civil Engineering, Kaduna Polytechnic, and a Doctorate Researcher at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. With a robust academic career that includes a formative period of study at Loughborough University in Leicestershire, England, my experiences there deeply influenced my professional and personal development. At Loughborough, I was an active executive member of the Islamic Society, which allowed me significant interaction with students from various Middle Eastern countries and participation in numerous conferences and events focused on critical Islamic and geopolitical issues. My academic, research, and literary pursuits span civil engineering and Islamic studies, making me a prominent figure in both disciplines.
