Lawyer gifts N1.5m, laptops to Yobe teen champions of global English competition

A development advocate, Alhaji Kashim Tumsah, has announced a cash reward of N1.5 million to three Yobe champions of English language and debate competition at the 2025 TeenEagle Global English Championship in London.

Nafisa Abdullahi, 17,  Ruqayya Fema, 15 and Hadiza Kalli, all students of Nigeria Tulip International College, Mamudo, represented Nigeria at the competition and beat 20,000 participants from 69 countries.

They scored the highest marks in debate, English language skills and outstanding talent award for creativity and unique presentation.

Tumsah, a lawyer and diplomat, made this known to journalists on Tuesday in Damaturu, saying that each of the students would receive N500,000 and a brand new laptop.

“We proudly celebrate the outstanding achievement of three brilliant young students from Yobe – Nafisa, Rukayya and Hadiza – who brought honour to Nigeria at the TeenEagle Global English Championship in London.

“Emerging victorious among over 20,000 participants from 69 countries, these students have not only demonstrated academic excellence and discipline.

“But also highlighted the immense potential of Nigerian youth, particularly from the North-East,” the statement read in part,” he said.

Tumsah, also known as KMT, attributed the teenagers’ success to the impact of sustained investment in education under the administration of Gov. Mai Mala Buni.

He stated that the Governor’s commitment to improving the learning environment in the state was yielding “exceptional results.”

“This milestone is a source of pride not only for Yobe but for Nigeria. It stands as a powerful reminder of what is possible when talent meets opportunity,” he said.

Earlier in the year, Tumsah had awarded N100,000 each to 29 students of the state who scored 300 and above in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
