In an interview, Gayoom said he did not study at the Ahmadu Bello University, so "Ahmadu Bello University" should be removed from the infobox's alma mater part. Also the sentence "After marrying Nasreena Ibrahim in 1969, Gayoom joined Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria, Nigeria, where he served as a lecturer in Islamic Studies.[7]" needs to be moved from education section to his career section because that sentence does not tell any about his education, it's about his career when he started to teach at the university. 27.114.165.157 (talk) 14:23, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Isn't "criticising" wrong spelling for "criticizing"? In the top 2nd paragraph? Also there's many more like that with an "s" instead of "z"? Why's that.. 209.212.196.5 (talk) 14:10, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
- "Use British English" is specified in the article headers, so such spellings are used throughout. LizardJr8 (talk) 17:07, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
