Amina Yuguda Wins BBC World News Komla Dumor Award by Adeyeancah(m): 7:01am On Sep 19, 2017
A journalist from north-eastern Nigeria has won
the third BBC World News Komla Dumor Award.


Amina Yuguda is a news presenter on local network
Gotel Television, where she has reported on high-
profile news stories, including the Boko Haram
insurgency.



She will start a three-month placement at the BBC in
London in September.



The award was created to honour Komla Dumor, a
presenter for BBC World News, who died suddenly
aged 41 in 2014.


Ms Yuguda said her win was a "huge honour".
"I was overwhelmed with joy. Storytellers have
always had an important role in Africa... this is what
defines us. Today journalists are taking on that
responsibility."



She impressed the panel with her story-telling and
her ability to convey complex ideas in a way that
resonates with a wide audience.



She is excited to work at the BBC, given her
understanding of the corporation's impact among
pastoralists in her hometown, saying in her
application:
"With little or no formal education, my countrymen
can hold their own in a variety of topics, including the
Trump presidency in America, North Korea's
defiance, Russia's foreign relations under Putin, and
more."



BBC World Service Group Director Francesca
Unsworth said Ms Yuguda was a worthy winner:
"To find someone who possesses many of Komla's
qualities is something for us to celebrate, and we are
very excited about working with Amina."
Previous winners of the Komla Dumor Award were
Ugandan news anchor Nancy Kacungira and Nigerian
business journalist Didi Akinyelure.

Good stuff. We need more of this. Especially from our ladies. It will go a long way to encourage us, the parents that Girl Child can actually become great if she is giving the proper education she deserves.

Congrats.

I used to envy the fluent english these journalist spoke in front of cameras. So faultless and without error until they shattered my illusion in billion pieces. I discovered they were just reciting a script from a teleprompter. No wonder they dont make mistakes. I was even shocked when I learnt obama used the same thing. Ever since I just dislike them all. I stopped listening to his speeches.
Forget all these their journalism schools. Anybody can win an award reading from a teleprompter.
