The Future We Must Invest In: Nadis’s and Others
I warmly congratulate Miss Nafisa Abdullah Aminu, the exceptional 17-year-old student from Yobe State, on her outstanding achievement at the 2025 TeenEagle Global Finals in London. Her emergence as the top English language performer globally, outshining over 20,000 participants from 69 countries, is not only a personal triumph but a moment of great national pride. Nafisa’s brilliance, nurtured through discipline, family support, and quality education at Nigerian Tulip International College, has proven once again that Nigerian youths can excel on the world stage when given the opportunity.
This remarkable feat calls for meaningful recognition. I strongly urge the Federal Government to honour Nafisa and all other students who recently brought academic honour to the country. A fully funded scholarship would not only reward her excellence but also inspire other students across the country to pursue education with passion and purpose.
Education remains the most powerful investment we can make in the future of our country. Let us, as a nation, demonstrate that academic excellence is a national value. I encourage the government to formally receive Nafisa and her teacher at the presidency as a symbol of our collective commitment to education. Recognising and supporting achievers like her is how we build a nation where merit is honoured and greatness is nurtured.
