A Chief Lecturer at the Federal College of Education, Zaria—now known as the Federal University of Education, Zaria. A dedicated and seasoned educator, she is deeply committed to transferring knowledge and skills. Her passion for teaching and research was sparked during her time at the Women Teachers' College, Katsina.

She pursued both her undergraduate and postgraduate studies at the prestigious Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, in Kaduna State, Nigeria, and is currently completing her PhD in Home Economics.

Over the course of her teaching career, which began in the 1980s, she has made significant contributions to academia through numerous scholarly publications, including book chapters and articles in both national and international journals. Her teaching experience spans all levels of education.

She is particularly inspired by El-roi’s mission to impart knowledge and skills that empower the needy and support the development of the less privileged, helping them realize their God-given potential and become valuable contributors to their generation.

Haggai Habila, alongside his family, founded Living Spring Fellowship, where he continues to pastor. He has served as a chaplain for eight years and formerly led the Jos Baptist Prison Ministry. Within Prison Fellowship Nigeria, he held key leadership roles, including Plateau State Chairman and National Prayer Coordinator. Passionate about justice and discipleship, Haggai has impacted lives both in church and prison settings. His broad ministry and life experiences inspired the founding of El-Roi Center for Women and Children Empowerment.
