We proudly celebrate two brilliant daughters of Yobe State—17-year-old Nafisa Abdullah Aminu and 15-year-old Rukayya Muhammad Fema—who made Nigeria proud by emerging as global champions at the 2025 TeenEagle Global Finals in London.
Selected from over 20,000 contestants across 69 countries, Nafisa was named World’s Best in English Language Skills, while Rukayya took the title of Overall Best in Debate—a phenomenal achievement that has placed them among the world’s brightest young minds.
These exceptional girls are a shining reminder that Nigerian talent can thrive and lead on any global stage—when given the right support and opportunity. Their victory is not just personal; it is national. It underscores the urgent need to invest meaningfully in education, especially for the girl child.
As a passionate advocate for quality education, we stand with millions of Nigerians in celebrating not just Nafisa and Rukayya—but also every teacher, parent, mentor, and school system that helped shape their journey. Your tireless encouragement and belief in their potential have borne fruit—not just for Yobe, but for all of Nigeria.
Let their story spark new hope and action—so that no child is left behind, and every Nigerian dream is given wings to soar.
