 By Yusuf Bukar Biriri.

Yobe state Governor Hon. (Dr) Mai Mala Buni CON, COMN, has approved a grand ceremony to honour 17 year old Nafisa Abdullah and 15 year old Rukayya Muhammad Fema for emerging World best in English language skills and overall debate competitions  respectively at the 2025 TeenEagle Global Finals in London, United Kingdom.

In a statement made available to newsmen by the Director General press and media affairs to the Governor Mamman Muhammad Said Nafisa and Rukayya, both from Yobe state, are students of the Nigerian Tulip International College,  who reprepresented Nigeria at the World competition to beat other 20,000 participants from 69 countries.

Nafisa and Rukayya both  beneficiaries of the Gov. Mai Mala Buni’s scholarship programme covering full tuition for 890 students at the Nigeria Tulip International College. 

Gov. Buni described the outstanding performances  as a great honour to the state and country. 

“These are great feats that makes us proud and justifies the government’s investment in the education sector”  Gov. Buni said. 

He assured that his administration would continue to subsidize education for every child in the state to have the opportunity to go school, and appealed to parents for cooperation.

“Government has reconstructed schools destroyed by the protracted insurgency, provided furniture, books, laboratory equipment and employed more qualified teachers to improve the quality content of education in the state, and it is still a work in progress ”  he said. 

Currently, there are about 40,000 Yobe state students on government scholarship studying various courses in Universities and other tertiary institutions in Nigeria and overseas. 

It would be recalled that, a few months ago, the state celebrated the graduation of 167 beneficiaries of the state-funded scholarship programme who graduated in medical sciences, computer science and engineering from Indian Universities.
