He studied Arabic with a minor in English at Bayero University, Kano, and currently works with BUK TV and Radio, a campus radio station that trains student journalists and professionals. A lifetime carpenter by trade, his passion for craft has shaped both his creativity and his disciplined approach to education and the arts.

He currently serves as the PRO of the Association of Nigerian Authors (ANA, Kano Branch), while also continuing his work as a storyteller and poet writing in multiple languages. Abdurabbihi convenes and chairs intellectual and literary programs such as the BUK Creative Writers’ Forum and AFINOW, and frequently serves as a judge for poetry competitions and slams, including the Mudi Spikin Poetry Slam and MPS Media Poetry Challenge in Katsina as well as Abubakar Imam Poetry Slam.
