A Historic Moment of Honour for Maryam Ibrahim Dan’Azumi
Today, Maryam Ibrahim Dan’Azumi, the overall winner of the 46th King Abdulaziz International Qur’anic Competition in Saudi Arabia, was presented to Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, by the Gombe State Governor, His Excellency Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, CON.
Maryam, a proud student of Abubakar Siddiq Community School for Qur’an Memorization, Gombe, made history by becoming the first female champion in the 46-year history of the prestigious competition.
The First Lady honoured Maryam with ₦20 million, commending her outstanding achievement and describing her as a source of pride to Nigerian women and the girl-child.
She also praised the Gombe State Government’s commitment to education, girl-child empowerment, Tsangaya and Almajiri education, while Governor Inuwa Yahaya expressed his appreciation for the national recognition of Maryam’s achievement.
The school is deeply grateful to Allah (SWT) for this remarkable blessing and proud moment. Maryam’s achievement is not only a victory for the School and Gombe State, but a victory for Nigeria and all Huffaazul Qur’an.
May Allah continue to bless Maryam, her parents, teachers, the Gombe State Government, and everyone who contributed to this historic achievement.
Ameen.
