About Macaw & Quetzal
Conceived by Muhammad Abdussalam and his siblings, M&Q Limited took flight in March 2022 with our logistics business. The academic wing commenced in 2023, embodying a commitment to excellence and a dedication to shaping young minds. With RC no. 1906417, the company name drew inspiration from the majestic Macaw and Quetzal birds.
WHY MACAW AND QUETZAL
Our mission is to nurture the upcoming generations with the exceptional qualities embodied by Macaw and Quetzal birds: intelligence, striking, stunning, and resilience. Furthermore, the lifespans of these birds hold particular significance for us. Nigeria’s life expectancy is approximately 60 years, mirroring the lifespan of Macaws. The completion of tertiary education typically occurs between 20 and 25 years, which aligns with the lifespan of Quetzals. Therefore, we aspire for the products of Macaw and Quetzal schools to thrive like Quetzals until the age of 25 and flourish like Macaws until the age of 60 and beyond.
WHY BIRDS
We hail the airplane as an awe-inspiring invention, inspired by birds’ aerial abilities—hence the appellation of our business after birds.
MACAW
Macaws, known for their vibrant colors and long tails, are highly intelligent creatures that can mimic sounds and even talk. Hail from Central and South America, as well as the Caribbean These sizable birds measure between 12 and 40 inches (as seen in the Hyacinth Macaw) and enjoy a remarkable lifespan of up to 60 years and, in some cases, 80 years
QUETZAL
Quetzals are remarkably colourful and breath-taking, and inhabit lush forests, particularly in humid highlands. These birds typically measure 13 to 16 inches in length, with some species reaching even greater proportions. Widely regarded as among the world’s most exquisite avian, the quetzal holds special significance as Guatemala’s national symbol. Their lifespan ranges from 20 to 25 years.
