She’s known for stories that focus on human subjects. Oduah is best known for her coverage of the 2014 kidnapping of 276 Chibok schoolgirls by Boko Haram, when she was one of the first international journalists to arrive at the scene. Her intensely personal stories of the affected families helped her to win the 2014 Trust Women “Journalist of the Year” award. Since then, Oduah has focused on the influence of Boko Haram in Northeastern Nigeria. Her compelling stories focus mainly on the plight of women, children, and orphans.
