Lieutenant Colonel Yagana Musa, a distinguished and resilient military officer hailing from the Bade Local Government Area of Yobe State, has achieved a significant milestone in Nigerian military history.
In 2019, Musa became the first woman of Kanuri descent to be decorated with the rank of Major in the Nigerian Army.
Her rapid ascent and subsequent promotion have positioned her as the most senior female military officer from Yobe State. Major Musa’s career stands as a powerful testament to dedication, perseverance, and breaking barriers in a historically male-dominated profession.
Her achievement serves as an inspiration across the Northeast region, demonstrating exceptional leadership and commitment within the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
