Ohimai Amaize, a 40-year-old Nigerian journalist, has achieved a significant milestone by earning a master’s degree in Political Writing from Columbia University in the United States.
He secured a full scholarship through the Columbia University Scholarship for Displaced Students (CUSDS) and announced his graduation on Twitter, stating, “Today I graduated from @columbiajourn with a Master’s Degree after receiving a full scholarship from @GlobalCenters in 2020.”
The CUSDS program is Columbia’s first university-wide scholarship designed to support displaced students. Ohimai stood out as one of only 18 students selected from over 1,200 global applicants for the inaugural cohort.
Prior to this achievement, Ohimai earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and French from the University of Ibadan in Nigeria.
He fled to the U.S. and received asylum after facing threats of arrest for treason because of his work as a TV anchor.
