Arch. Mohammed Abdullahi Dewu was born on January 3rd, 1954, he hails from Kirfi Local Government area of Bauchi State.

Between 1972 and 1980, Arc Dewu attended Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, where he gained a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science Degree in Architecture. He also attended Darden Business School, University of Virginia, USA, where he obtained a Certificate in Managing Critical Resources.

An impressive CV reveals Dewu was President of Ahmadu Bello University Alumni Association from 1998 to 2002 and Council Member of the Governing Council of the university during the same time.

He worked as a lecturer in Ogun State Polytechnic, Abeokuta, before he later became a project architect for Tunji Olugbesan Associates in Ikeja, Lagos. He was Director of the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) from 2000 to 2003, and it is also worth noting that the driven Nigerian also had a stint in politics in the 2003 gubernatorial election in Bauchi State.

Arc. Dewu believes in Nigeria as one country and thinks that anyone who wants to break the country must be dreaming. It is his opinion that Nigerians were created to be together, for when there is one area lacking in something, there will be another area that has plenty.

Furthermore, he feels that the lower classes don’t agree with the media claims about the disunity of the country, as they continue to carry on their local inward and outward trading.

Throughout the country, at every settlement, you will discover that wherever you see a Hausa man, you will see Yoruba and Igbo people. They work hand in hand, so the government would be well-served “to protect this unity and move the country forward.”

Arch. Mohammed Abdullahi Dewu has so much passion for sporting activities. He joins Kaduna Golf Club in the year 1998, he is an active golfer and a two-term Captain of the Club (2004 & 2005), he cannot stand a day without being on the golf course. He is presently a member of the club’s Board of Trustees.
