A talented 17-year-old Nigerian student, Nafisa Abdullah Aminu, has claimed the prestigious title of World Best in English Language Skills, carving her name into academic history.
Hailing from Yobe State, the young scholar secured this remarkable accolade during the 2025 TeenEagle Global Finals in London, where she represented Nigeria with exceptional flair.
Competing under the banner of Nigerian Tulip International College (NTIC), Nafisa soared above more than 20,000 contenders from 69 nations—an extraordinary achievement that has drawn international acclaim and elevated Nigeria’s reputation on the educational front.
The TeenEagle competition, renowned globally for evaluating linguistic precision, analytical prowess, and persuasive communication, gathers elite participants from diverse linguistic backgrounds, making Nafisa’s victory even more impressive.
Nafisa’s family spokesperson, Hassan Salifu, emphasized that her win was fueled by “relentless focus, rigorous training, and unwavering encouragement from state leaders.”
“This milestone exemplifies what happens when visionary leadership meets talent. Governor Mai Mala Buni’s transformative policies in education created the foundation for this international accomplishment,” Salifu noted in a statement to Leadership.
Remarkably, Nafisa surpassed contestants from countries where English is the mother tongue—a feat underscoring her brilliance and the effectiveness of Nigeria’s educational frameworks.
News of her triumph ignited jubilations across Yobe, with her family extending heartfelt gratitude to Governor Buni and NTIC educators for fostering Nafisa’s exceptional abilities.
“This victory highlights how strategic educational investments unlock global opportunities. Governor Buni’s reforms have not only revitalized our schools but also showcased Nigeria’s academic excellence worldwide,” the family remarked.
As admirers rally nationwide, there’s mounting demand for state and federal recognition of Nafisa’s groundbreaking accomplishment—a beacon of Nigeria’s intellectual promise.
“By triumphing over native English-speaking competitors, Nafisa proves that Nigerian students are world-class when given the platform. Her story is an inspiration to aspiring scholars everywhere,” declared an enthusiastic family member.
