In 1994, Diso joined the Department of Special Education at Bayero University. His academic career saw a significant milestone in 2019 when he became Nigeria’s first visually impaired Professor. He had earlier earned his PhD in Special Education from the University of Birmingham, London, in 1991, marking a significant achievement in his academic pursuits.

Professor Diso’s contributions to special education and his pioneering efforts have left an indelible mark on the academic community. His dedication to education and his advocacy for the visually impaired have inspired many.

The statement added that the funeral prayer for late Professor Diso was scheduled to take place on Friday at the Abdullahi Bin Abbas Juma’at Mosque, Sabon Titi, Gidan Kankara, Kano State.
