The Lycée Duhamel in Dole stands up for Ayomide, a young Nigerian girl threatened with deportation

Dole – 17.06.2026: The Lycée Duhamel in Dole is strongly committed to Ayomide Oladuti, a 16-year-old Nigerian girl who, since her arrival in France in 2024, has made remarkable progress. At first, she did not speak French, but she quickly integrated perfectly and now attends the 11th grade of high school. Her teachers praise her rapid development and tireless commitment.

In addition to her academic achievements, Ayomide has also demonstrated her musical talents. She has participated in various school events, impressing both classmates and teachers with her voice. Furthermore, she recently started attending the Conservatory of Dole, where her artistic skills have already received recognition.

Despite these successes, Ayomide now faces the prospect of having to leave France. The Oladuti family, consisting of Ayomide, her mother, and her siblings, received an expulsion order after their asylum requests were rejected. This decision could jeopardize not only Ayomide’s school path but also her entire future in France.

In response to this situation, the school community and the local population have united to support Ayomide. Teachers, students, parents, and other supporters have launched a petition and created a video to draw attention to her situation and urge the authorities to reconsider their decision. These collective efforts aim to allow Ayomide and her family to stay in France and continue their future here.

The support for Ayomide is part of a broader movement in France, where educational institutions and communities stand up for students threatened with expulsion. Similar cases have been documented in various cities, with schools and local communities actively working to ensure the right to remain for the youths involved. These solidarity actions highlight the importance of education and integration in French society.

Ayomide’s situation remains tense, and the school community of Dole continues its efforts to find a solution that will allow her to continue her studies and establish her place in society. The coming weeks will be decisive in determining whether the mobilization will bear fruit and whether Ayomide will be able to stay in France.

In general, this case highlights the difficulties many young migrants face in France and the importance of support from educational institutions and society to ensure their integration and future prospects.

The school community of Dole remains determined to support Ayomide in her educational journey and in finding her place within French society.
