Amanda Azubuike, a 57-year-old black military officer of Nigerian origin, has made history as the first Nigerian woman to be decorated as a Brigadier General in the United States Army.

Her remarkable journey has become a source of inspiration for women worldwide, especially as black women continue to make strides in military leadership.

Born in London, United Kingdom, Azubuike is of Nigerian and Zimbabwean descent. Her father, of Igbo origin, moved to the UK at a young age to study law, where he met her mother, a nursing student from Zimbabwe. Following the end of her parents’ marriage, her mother relocated to the United States with Amanda and her sister, where Amanda eventually became a US citizen in April 1989.

Azubuike’s military aspirations began at the age of 17 when she joined the Air Force Junior ROTC while attending Jacksonville High School. This early experience laid the foundation for a distinguished career. She earned a bachelor’s degree in Communications from the University of Central Arkansas in December 1993 and joined the Army in 1994 as an aviator after completing the Army Aviation Officer Basic Course.

Her career took off when she graduated from flight school as a UH-1 pilot and began her military service at Hunter Army Airfield in Georgia, where she served as a platoon leader with the 924th Aviation Support Battalion. She later joined the 3rd Military Intelligence Battalion (Aerial Exploitation) in South Korea as an Operations Officer and RC-12 pilot, following her completion of the Military Intelligence Captain’s Career Course and Fixed Wing Multi-Engine Qualification Course.

 

Azubuike’s academic achievements also include a Master of Professional Studies in Public Relations and Corporate Communications from Georgetown University. Over her 30-year career, she transitioned from aviation to strategic and leadership roles, excelling in intelligence, public affairs, and senior advisory positions.

 

Her notable contributions include serving as Deputy Commanding Officer at the US Army Cadet Command, Chief of Public Affairs for the US Southern Command, and Senior Military Advisor at the Pentagon. Her elevation to the rank of Brigadier General is a milestone that reflects her exceptional service and dedication.
