Amal Hassan

The Economic and financial crime commission (EFCC), after all investigations, have declared Amal Hassan free on the alleged forgery case file against her due to lack of evidence and witness.

Amal Hassan is an Hausa-Fulani businesswoman who was born, raised, educated and resides in Kano but does business in Kano, Kaduna, Lagos, and Abuja. She is also the force behind Outsource Global, Africa’s leading business process outsourcing company, servicing countries in Africa, the United State, and the UK.

Hassan was allegedly intimidated by a notable media mogul in Nigeria, where he presented spurious claims to the EFCC that led to Amal Hassan’s arrest. Her team immediately challenged the claims in court, this lead to court dismissal due to lack of evidence or corroborating witnesses by the prosecutor.

About Amal Hassan
Amal Hassan had wanted to be a doctor, so she applied to the university to study medicine.  The university admitted her to study Business Administration instead.  Encouraged by her mother, Amal accepted to study the course, instead of sitting back at home where the probability of her being married off at a young age was very high.

That choice led to the making of the business mogul Amal Hassan is today. After obtaining her degree, she enrolled in a program to study basic computer skills. Wanting more, she left Kano for Lagos to study Microsoft Certified Systems Engineering.  Upon her return, she started the first organized IT training center in Kano.  Its primary objective was to enable women to acquire IT skills and broaden their job prospects.  By 2005, the center had trained over 3,000 people, mostly women.

However, acquiring these skills presented an unexpected problem.  The graduates could not readily find jobs since their first degrees were in different fields.  To solve this problem, Amal worked with a company that provides financial software management solutions to banks thus providing employment for some of her graduates.

Today, Amal Hassan is the Founder and CEO of Outsource Global, employing over 800 staff that works with companies around the world.
