Niger State-born Hajara Yakubu Jibril has joined the league of exceptionally bright young Nigerians who have won awards on the international scene.

She was recognised by Lovely Professional University, Punjab, India, as the Best Graduating African Student.

The 21-year-old indigene of Suleja local government area, who obtained a First Class Bachelor’s Degree in Pharmacy, also coasted home with the Distinguished Leaders Award (Best Female Leader).

She also won Public Service Award (Minister for Student Welfare and Development), and Global Ambassador Award (Recognition for Outstanding Student Leadership Across Borders).
