Rabia Salihu Sa’id

Rabia Salihu Sa'id According to Rabia Salihu, she is active in STEM outreach because there is group pressure and obstacles that girls, particularly those in northern Nigeria, must overcome to pursue degrees and careers in these fields. In addition, "more girls in science will mean that the solutions that science provides are not just tailored to the needs of a single gender."

In August 2015, Sa'id was interviewed by BBC journalist Claudia Hammond for a feature on the BBC World Service, The following year (2016) she was featured in online magazine The Nigerian Academia in a list of distinguished Nigerian women in science.
