Abdul received the award at the ceremony held on Saturday, marking a major milestone in her broadcasting career.
Speaking after receiving the award, she expressed gratitude for the recognition and reflected on her journey from Ghana to Nigeria.

She also dedicated the achievement to her mother, recalling her initial doubts when she announced her decision to move to Nigeria.
“Mummy, I did it. I remember when I told my mummy I was coming to Nigeria. She asked me, ‘Are you sure?’ Mummy, I’m sure now. Thank you so much,” Abdul said.
