Atiku Awards Scholarships to Nigerian Teens for International Achievements

The Atiku Abubakar Foundation has awarded fully-funded scholarships to three Nigerian students—Nafisa Abdullahi, Rukaiya Fema, and Khadija Kalli—in recognition of their outstanding performances at the TeenEagle Global Finals.

The teenagers secured top positions in various categories at the prestigious international academic competition, earning accolades for what the Foundation called their “exceptional success.”

In a letter dated August 5, 2025, and signed by the Acting Secretary of the Foundation, Prof. Ahmadu Shehu, the students were praised for emerging as global winners at the event.

“The Atiku Abubakar Foundation is thrilled to acknowledge your remarkable achievements at the TeenEagle Global Finals, where you emerged victorious in various categories of the competition,” the letter read.

Among the recipients is 17-year-old Nafisa Abdullahi, who received special recognition for her proficiency in the English language, critical thinking, and articulate presentation skills—all of which helped her excel over contestants from 69 countries.
