Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu Announced Umaru Shinkafi Legacy Foundation Essay Competition 2025 Results
Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu, UICC President-Elect of 2024-2026 and a Founder of the Medicaid Cancer Foundation, shared a post on X:
“Over 3,600 people were reportedly abducted in Nigeria in 2023 alone. This underscores an urgent need to understand and address the socio-economic implications of kidnapping and banditry. We initiated the Umaru Shinkafi Legacy Foundation Essay Competition focused on this critical topic. In honor of my late father, Alhaji Umaru Shinkafi, I am delighted to announce the results and celebrate the 15 exceptional young Nigerians whose thoughtful essays earned them well-deserved recognition and prizes.
Congratulations to all the winners for their dedication to knowledge and their commitment to building a more secure, informed society. I am also grateful to Khalifa Ahmedwho gave birth to the idea, Dr Abubakar Shinkafi, Bashar Aliyu Buhari and all those who contributed one way or another.
O Allah, forgive him, have mercy on him, and make his grave a garden from the gardens of Paradise. (Allahumma ighfir lahu warhamhu waj’al qabrahu rawdatan min riyadil jannah.) May Allah forgive our parents, grant them Jannatul Firdaus, and reward all efforts made in my father’s honor. Ameen. Prayers and award ceremony holds in Sokoto on Saturday 12th July, 2025.”
