A Lifetime Dedication to Justice and Education

Fridah’s passion for law is in fact but another aspect of her dedication to social justice and education. All through her career, she has been a beacon for people without legal help-helping ensure justice is not just the name of a game played by those with all huge wads in their wallets. Outside the courtroom, she also plays mentor to youngsters in both academic and career matters.

It is at Reech & Co. Advocates-one of the key players behind her considerable fortunes since 2010-that Fridah serves as not only leader for the paralegal squad but also trainer to fresh law graduates-to great effect. The particular brand of education offered by AIU (innovative and flexible) has further honed this indigenous capability in her leadership and mentorship activities making it possible for Fridah to get onto a whole new level with each succeeding crop of legal professionals who will succeed her.

Overcoming Challenges and Rising Above Adversity

There were pitfalls in Fridah’s path. For someone out of school at the end of the O-level examinations, who had to give up his university education for two years as a result and see himself lucky just because he could return to that same Alma Mater following anxious waiting period which for all he knew might never end had taught him patience and self-control in spades–this was not the final straw that broke him!AIU ‘s flexible approach to study is what helped Fridah return to school. While trying out for a gas chromatograph job in a chemical factory she also completed her education and learned: setbacks can be turned into stepping stones.

These community mentorship factors have greatly contributed to her continued success.

Fridah’s care and human rights advocacy seeking out means of environmental sustainability does not stop at the business level. She is convinced steadfastly that it is all of our responsibility to save the Earth and tirelessly manifests it with her leadership and mentorship.

All of Africa’s people are aware that this factory is identified with everything green — eco-friendly, serene environment and stable production for years to come. The angel at last dispatches her by monstrous road accidents within 80 kilometers!
