To the family, friends, and colleagues of Mall. Muhammed Aliyu Ocholi,
With heavy hearts we remember Mallam Muhammed Aliyu Ocholi, our beloved Principal, who peacefully returned to his Creator on 19th June 2026. For us, he was truly a man of peace: calm in spirit, generous in counsel, and unwavering in his faith in every student’s future.
As a teacher and a leader, he gave more than classroom lessons; he imparted belief. Mallam Aliyu cared for each pupil with a rare kindness and a steady dedication that helped shape our character and our dreams. By example he led a life of patience, principle, and commitment. He was rare but real, soft yet honest, and above all, he was a man whose character deserved to be understudied. His kindness warmed every classroom and corridor he touched, his steps always calm, his gazes always lowered but in honour, and his anger showed honest intentions to correct and rebuild lives.
We ask Allah to receive him into Aljanatul Firdaus and grant patience and comfort to his family and all who mourn him. His burial was carried out with the dignity of Islamic rites, and his legacy lives on in our hearts and in the hearts of all whose lives he touched.
In his honor, we pledge to carry his principles forward: to be gentle in our dealings, steadfast in our purpose, and generous with our guidance to others. We will keep his memory alive in our words and deeds, striving always to reflect the teacher he was and the leader he inspired us to become.
