The Federal Government has rewarded Miss Nafisah Abdullahi, winner of the TeenEagle Global Finals competition, with N200,000.
The Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, presented the award on Thursday at a ceremony in Abuja.
Atiku Abubakar Foundation had earlier awarded fully-funded scholarships to Abdullahi and her teammates, Rukaiya Fema and Khadija Kalli, in recognition of their outstanding performance at the global contest.
The three Nigerian students emerged as winners in different categories of the competition, which featured participants from 69 countries.
The Foundation, in a letter signed by its Acting Secretary, Prof. Ahmadu Shehu, described their achievement as “remarkable success” and pledged continued support for their academic advancement.
Abdullahi, 17, was celebrated for her proficiency in English, critical thinking, and articulation, which distinguished her at the event.
