Mary secured a scholarship to the prestigious American University of Nigeria Academy, transitioning from the challenging conditions of an IDP camp to an institution known for academic excellence.

Mary’s silver medal win underscores the impact of education and opportunity on young talents. Her success story is a testament to resilience, mentorship and the power of chess to change lives.
