She disclosed this when handing over the affairs of the education ministry to the Minister of State for Education, Chief Nyesom Wike, as directed by President Jonathan.
Before her appointment as a minister, Rufa'i was a professor of Curriculum Studies at the Bayero University, Kano.
"I called you here to witness the handing over because as you are all aware my tenure as minister has expired along with eight others.
"I am going back to resume my job as a professor of Curriculum Studies at the Bayero University Kano, that is where I came from on secondment.
"We should know that a time like this will come because if it does not, death is surely an end."
She expressed gratitude to the President for the opportunity given her to serve as a cabinet minister.
"I have enjoyed a close working relationship with the President.
"Of course, there were times we had our disagreements, but overall we enjoyed working together."
Rufa'i, who also thanked Wike and other officials of the ministry for the support she enjoyed during her tenure in the ministry, tasked them not to relent in achieving the sector's goal of Access and Quality.
In his remarks, Wike described Rufa'i's exit as "painful" but said that "when we are not in control, there is nothing we can do".
