Atiku, in a post shared on his Facebook page on Friday night, praised Mary’s inspiring journey from displacement to global acclaim, describing it as a powerful symbol of hope and opportunity.

“The story of Mary Zira is a story of opportunity and hope,” the former vice president wrote. “From uncertainty, today she’s a world-class Chess champion. I am deeply grateful to the AUN Feed and Read team for discovering Mary,” he wrote.

Atiku also used the opportunity to call attention to the plight of other children displaced by conflict across Nigeria, urging more support for their education and development.

“There are many more Marys whose future continues to be ruined by the devastation of insecurity across the country,” he stated. “Little efforts by good-spirited individuals and organisations can make a big difference towards a better future for the victims.”
