The American writer, Richard Diaz, must have been talking about Mariam Mohammed when he said, “There has always been an elegance to the application of excellence.”
Mariam Mohammed, publisher of MAKTOUB, is not just like an oasis in the parched mediascape of Northern Nigerian and Nigeria in general, but one committed to elegance and excellence.
Last Friday, July 13, 2018, the communication solutionist brought to bear, once again, her signature of class, grace and fine grooming when she hosted the powerful crème de la crème of society at the special unveiling of her magazine: Journey to National Rebirth and Economical Revival at the International Conference Center, Abuja.
Mariam has come far and well as a U.K. trained media and communications expert, breaking barriers to be reputed as one of Nigeria’s upscale publicist and communications strategist.
With a Kano Islamic heritage and Yoruba bloodline, Mariam is a child of many experiences.
Before her foray into her core area of expertise, Mariam had founded one of the biggest real estate firm in Dubai, Saturn Gates, overseeing the development and sales of some of the biggest projects in the vibrant Arabian property market.
In answer to the yearning gap for something new and refreshing, she birthed Maktoub.
At the event which had Speaker Yakubu Dogara and a large number of reps, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, governors and a host of other political and economic powerbrokers, Mariam shone like a million stars in leaf green flowing dress.
For a lady in a male dominated field, the consensus remains, she has done well and with her pace, she will do even better.
