Noble Hall Leadership Academy for Girls has graduated 34 students from its senior school programme, celebrating not only their academic excellence but also their leadership, resilience, and strong character.
The 8th graduation ceremony, held in Abuja, marked a significant milestone: 14 of the graduating students completed both the Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) and the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) qualifications – a rare academic feat that earned high praise from the school leadership.
At the event, Mrs Maryam Duba, founder and director of Noble Hall, lauded the graduates for their determination and perseverance.
“Most of your classmates did not stay on to write the WAEC. But you did,” she told the Class of 2025. “You’ve shown commitment, determination, and strength. Today, you hold both the IGCSE and WAEC qualifications – you should be immensely proud of yourselves.”
Mrs Duba extended heartfelt thanks to the academy’s staff for fostering an environment where girls are empowered to thrive academically and morally.
She also recognised board members Dr Sariki and Hajiya Barika Saleh, as well as keynote speakers Dr Amina and Mr Wale Ajiboye, for their ongoing contributions to the school’s mission.
“Your presence adds deep meaning to this celebration,” she said. “Your work in development continues to inspire us all.”
A standout moment of the ceremony came when the graduating class made a symbolic donation of cartons of books and educational materials to the school’s mosque and library — the first philanthropic gesture by a graduating class in the school’s history.
“You gave back before even leaving,” Mrs. Duba said. “That speaks volumes. It proves the values we aimed to instil in you have truly taken root.”
Noble Hall’s principal, Mr. Ashish Gill, also described the day as a major milestone for the academy.
“Today marks a proud moment in Noble Hall’s journey,” he said. “Each graduate is a shining example of the strength, courage, and character that our academy nurtures.”
He emphasised the academy’s holistic approach to education, which combines academic rigour with leadership development and faith-based values.
Mr Gill noted that many of the graduates have spent between six and seven years at Noble Hall, growing into poised and articulate young leaders.
He also highlighted that members of the Class of 2025 have secured placements at top-tier universities across Nigeria, Africa, and internationally.
He added that several graduates participated in prestigious enrichment programmes, including the African Leadership Academy Summer Programme, the Duke of Edinburgh Award, Model United Nations, and various international exchange and language initiatives.
