Trailblazer! Senator Umahi’s Daughter, Kimberly Nweze, Bags First-Class Honours in Robotics Engineering

In a proud moment for Nigeria and women in STEM, Kimberly Olanma Nweze, daughter of Senator David Umahi, has graduated with First Class Honours in Robotics Engineering from the prestigious Queen Mary University of London.

The daughter of Nigeria’s Minister of Works has now joined a highly elite group of Nigerian scholars, becoming only the second known Nigerian to ever achieve this feat in the cutting-edge field of Robotics Engineering.

🧠 A Milestone Worth Celebrating

Kimberly’s academic achievement echoes that of Silas Adekunle, the Nigerian robotics prodigy and creator of MekaMon—the world’s first intelligent gaming robot—who also graduated with First Class Honours in Robotics from the University of the West of England, Bristol.

For a young Nigerian woman to emerge at the top of such a demanding and male-dominated field is not just a personal win — it’s a national inspiration.

💬 Opinion — A Future Engineer, A Present Icon

In an era where technology is shaping every part of society, Kimberly’s success represents the rising wave of young African innovators ready to shape the future. More importantly, her story challenges the gender gap in STEM and proves that with support, opportunity, and dedication — Nigerian youths can thrive anywhere in the world.

Her success should ignite national conversations around investing in education, tech innovation, and empowering women in science and engineering.

🎉 Congratulations, Kimberly! You’re not just breaking barriers — you’re building bridges for the next generation.
