By Genesis Ogiri

ABUJA — The grand ballroom of the Nicon Luxury Hotel, Abuja, shimmered with elegance and national pride as Princess Victoria Musa-Ujah Offoboche, a woman of rare distinction, compassion, and intellect, was honoured with the coveted title of Security Personality of the Year 2025 at the International Security Conference and Awards (ISCA).

The event, organized by the International Institute of Professional Security (IIPS) under the thought-provoking theme “Intelligence in Hard- and Soft-Target Hardening,” brought together an illustrious assemblage of security experts, policymakers, administrators, and development advocates. Yet among the constellation of national achievers, it was Princess Victoria’s aura of grace and benevolence that illuminated the hall — an emblem of womanhood shaped by courage, empathy, and purpose.

Regarded as one of the most influential daughters of Yala, Cross River State, Princess Victoria Musa-Ujah Offoboche has consistently redefined the intersection between humanity and leadership. Through her visionary initiative, the Hadiza Musa-Ujah Offoboche Foundation, she has become a vessel of hope to the forgotten, the vulnerable, and the displaced — transforming compassion into tangible change.
Her humanitarian footprints stretch beyond charity; they are the marks of a woman who believes that leadership finds its truest expression in service. Under her foundation, hundreds of widows have found economic empowerment, children have returned to classrooms, and communities once neglected have rediscovered dignity through structured outreach and social inclusion.

Indeed, Princess Victoria has distinguished herself not only as a philanthropist but as a guardian of peace and security, recognizing that true national safety is anchored on human welfare and emotional stability. Her voice has remained one of wisdom and inspiration in dialogues on gender inclusion, civic responsibility, and community partnership — hallmarks of her unwavering commitment to a just and secure society.

Observers at the ISCA Awards described her emergence as “both symbolic and instructive,” noting that her recognition represents the rise of a new paradigm in security leadership — one driven by compassion, intellect, and transformative energy.

A woman of quiet strength and regal disposition, Princess Victoria combines the poise of royalty with the depth of a reformer. Her humility disarms, her eloquence inspires, and her service heals. She embodies the sacred fusion of faith, intellect, and humanity — virtues that have continually set her apart as a national treasure and a moral compass for women in leadership.

Receiving the award amid thunderous applause, Princess Victoria Musa-Ujah Offoboche expressed profound gratitude to the International Institute of Professional Security for recognizing her modest contributions to peace and social security. In her graceful words, she said:

 “Security is not the absence of conflict, but the presence of compassion. When we empower women, educate children, and uphold dignity in our communities, we build the strongest walls of peace possible. This award is for every woman whose silent strength sustains the harmony of our nation.”

Her remarks resonated deeply with attendees, many of whom described her as a “rare blend of elegance and empathy,” a leader whose influence extends far beyond politics into the sacred realm of nation-building.

The ISCA Awards, hosted annually by the IIPS, has become Africa’s premier stage for recognizing excellence, ethical leadership, and innovation in security management. The 2025 edition reaffirmed the importance of human intelligence, moral discipline, and inter-agency collaboration in strengthening national resilience. 

In the elegant rhythm of applause that followed, Princess Victoria Musa-Ujah Offoboche stood as a radiant testament to what purposeful womanhood represents — beauty anchored in character, power refined by empathy, and influence measured by service.

Her name now joins the league of great women who have chosen compassion over comfort, service over status, and impact over image. As she left the stage, the atmosphere carried an unspoken truth: that true queens wear their crowns in the hearts of those they serve.

Indeed, Princess Victoria Musa-Ujah Offoboche’s emergence as Security Personality of the Year 2025 is not merely an honour — it is a celebration of womanhood, a recognition of humanitarian brilliance, and a poetic affirmation that when grace meets greatness, destiny bows in admiration.
