Asked by Haatuf Newspaper how he sees the appointment of the new minister of education, the Principal of Ahmed Guray School Abdirahman Ahmed Hussein replied, “I consider Zamzam Abdi Adan as someone who is fit to lead the ministry of education since she is not unfamiliar with educational issues and used to be a teacher herself.”
