A 17-year-old student from Yobe State, Nafisa Aminu, has won the top prize at the 2025 TeenEagle Global Finals held in London, United Kingdom.
Representing Nigeria through the Nigerian Tulip International College (NTIC), Yobe, Nafisa outperformed over 20,000 participants from 69 countries to clinch the title of World Best in English Language Skills.
The TeenEagle contest is known for its challenging evaluation of English language proficiency, critical thinking and communication skills, attracting students from both English and non-English-speaking nations.
Nafisa’s victory was announced in a statement released by the head of the Aminu family, Hassan Salifu, who credited her achievement to hard work, discipline and the consistent support of the Yobe State Government.
He praised Governor Mai Mala Buni for his commitment to education, saying his policies created the environment that made such international success possible.
“Our daughter’s global triumph is a direct result of His Excellency Governor Buni’s visionary investment in education,” Salifu noted.
