David Umahi’s Daughter graduates with First Class Degree from UK University—Soltrenx News

 The daughter of Nigeria’s Minister of Works and former Ebonyi State Governor, Senator David Umahi, has graduated with First Class Honours from a prestigious university in the United Kingdom, marking a proud moment for the Umahi family.

Though the name of the specific institution was not disclosed in the official announcement, it was confirmed that the young graduate achieved distinction in her academic pursuit, earning high praise from faculty members and fellow students.

Minister Umahi, who is currently overseeing key infrastructural projects across Nigeria, expressed joy and gratitude over his daughter’s academic success. In a message shared via his media team on Sunday, he described her achievement as a "testament to the values of hard work, discipline, and faith."

“We give God the glory. She has made us proud. This is a reminder that commitment and prayer still yield great results,” the minister stated.

The news of the graduation has sparked widespread congratulations on social media, with many Nigerians hailing the accomplishment as inspiring. Several netizens also took the opportunity to urge leaders like Umahi to strengthen Nigeria’s own educational institutions so that local students can enjoy similar academic standards and success at home.

This milestone comes amid Minister Umahi’s high-profile engagement in the administration of President Bola Tinubu, where he oversees the construction and rehabilitation of federal roads and bridges nationwide.

Analysts say the celebration of such family achievements among public officials brings a human angle to the otherwise demanding roles of governance, while also raising important questions about the need for continuous reforms in Nigeria's education sector.

The minister has yet to confirm if his daughter will remain abroad for postgraduate studies or return to contribute to national development.
