Aisha Yesufu was born in December 12 1974 and she hails from Agbede in Etsako West of Edo state. She was born and raised in Kano state, Nigeria. Aisha is a Nigerian socio-political activist, and co-convener of the Bring Back Our Girls Movement, an advocacy group that brings attention to the abduction of over 200 girls, from a secondary school in Chibok, Nigeria, on 14 April 2014 by the terrorist group Boko Harram.
From age 11, Aisha has always been known in her family to speak against things that do not go down well her and though this earned her the ‘stubborn’ tag, it also propelled her towards her journey to becoming an Activist.
She had a desire to enrol in the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), but this was cut short because the academy rejected her based on her gender.
She is a graduate of Microbiology from the prestigious Bayero University in Kano; where she graduated with a second class upper and went on to bag a Masters degree in Pharmaceutical Microbiology from Ahamdu Bello University, Zaria. While the EndSars protest was on, she showed solidarity, by joining the Youth Movement to end police brutality.
