Sani Mohammed Uzairu was born to Alhaji Uzairu Abdullahi, a descent of Kano, Nigeria and Tilka Garba, a Ghanaian. He is of a mixed lineage and calls himself a global citizen. Sani is the last child of his father. In his memoir, Call to Adventure, The Prof as he is fondly addressed said he didn’t grow up to know his dad. He recalled albeit wistfully grapevine accounts of his father's demise whilst he was barely a year old. For this reason, Sani spent most of his childhood and teenage years in Ghana under the care of his mum. He was left under the guidance of his maternal grandmother when his mother later re-married. In 2006 and at the age of eighteen, Sani obtained his WAEC certificate from T.I. Ahmadiyya Senior High School, Kumasi; and in the following year relocated to Lagos, Nigeria to make a life for himself. Whilst in Lagos, he joined Optimum International School as a pupil teacher. In 2008, he enrolled for a degree program in Biochemistry at Bayero University, Kano where he graduated in 2012. Whilst at Bayero University, Kano, he was adjudged the most outstanding Biochemistry student among his year-group in the 2008/2009 academic year. In 2009/2010, he was awarded the National Merit Scholarship by TOTAL E & P, Nigeria Limited which he benefited from until 2011/2012 academic year. In July 2013, he returned to the Department of Biochemistry, Bayero University, Kano as a youth corper where he served as a Technologist till June 2014. Afterwards, he had a stint with Pragmatic College, Kano as a Chemistry/Physics tutor and later the senior master of the College. In 2015, Sani was awarded yet another scholarship by the Kano State government to read a master’s program in Medical Biochemistry at Near East University, Cyprus. He graduated in June 2017 with distinction. He is a prolific writer and orator whose salutary adventure has brought him to the epiphany that people need a sense of self-efficacy and willpower to struggle with resilience to meet obstacles and inequities in life in order to succeed.
