Hadih, Hello, Hamjambo
My name is Leila Soila Abubakar-Depenau, and I have had the privilege of serving as the Executive Director for the CNCSU since 2015. Supporting students as they maneuver and engage in the post-secondary system became a passion of mine when I was a student because some of my best memories during my school years happened outside the classroom.
