AMINA YUGUDA, who is a news presenter on Gotel Television, was recognized for her high-profile news stories, including the Boko Haram insurgency.
YUGUDA becomes the second Nigeria to win the award, after business journalist DIDI AKINYELURE; as well as Ugandan news anchor NANCY KACUNGIRA.
Part of the benefits of winning the BBC’s Komla Dumor Award is a three-month placement at the BBC in London.
