Peter Obi has hailed Nigerian-born Miracle Izuchukwu for her fabulous feat.
The 25-year-old is now the youngest female commercial pilot in the United States.
In a tweet, Obi said she made history and also made her country proud.
“My very warm congratulations to Miracle Izuchukwu, 25. She’s Nigerian, and the youngest commercial female pilot in the USA.
“Like her compatriots all over the world, she made her country proud while making history”, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate wrote.
In 2019, Miracle joined the aviation industry as a flight attendant with American Airlines.
Miracle had revealed that she always wanted to become a pilot since her first encounter with one while working as a customer service representative.
Earlier in an Instagram post, she spoke of her dream to join the elite group of 7% of females and 1% of black female pilots in the world.
“It’s an exhilarating, yet surreal feeling to introduce myself to the world as a Pilot”, Miracle wrote.
