Eminent leaders from Northern Nigeria would be decorated and honoured at the 4th edition of Northern Nigeria Peace Awards and Conference 2023.
Some eminent sons and daughters of the Northern region who have left an indelible mark in the service of the people in their respective endeavours have been pencilled down to receive the prestigious award.
Dr Huda Fadoul Abacha, Founder/CEO Huddaya Couture Limited would be awarded with the Northern Nigeria Fashion and Business Personality of the Year and Induction of Fellowship Award in Science and Business Administration for her contribution to the fashion and style Industry in the north and Nigeria at large.
Her Abuja-based business has climbed up from its modest beginnings into the most high-profile wardrobes of Nigeria — including the first lady, President Buhari’s daughter Zahra, and celebrities such as Geneieve and D’ija.
Hudayya’s “non-conformist” spirit, passion for business, and dedication to excellence in tailoring has made her a fantastic success. She now inspires generations of rising fashion stars through her newly established design school, Hudayya Academy of Fashion.
Speaking with the project director Africa, Peace Ambassador Agency Worldwide, Amb. Kingsley Amafibe, he said the award seeks to highlight so many good things going on in the North aside from the security challenges in the region.
He expressed regret that despite frantic efforts being made by leaders in the region, attention has remained in the dark spots.
“I want Nigerians and the world to know that the north is not all about insecurity. There are many good things happening there. Good and hard-working people. That’s why we are honouring and celebrating them with our prestigious award,” he stated.
Some dignitaries who have received the award include Gov. Yahaya Bello, Kashifu Inuwa CCIE, Haijiya Sadiya, Umar Farouq, Rt Hon Ahmed Idris Wase, Dr Muhammed Dahiru, Dr. Ramatu Tijani Aliyu, Abdullahi Bashir Haske, Hon Gambo Manzo, Hon Jamil Ahmed Sadauki, Hon Aminu Sulaiman Goro, Amb Justin Ishaya Dodo.
According to him, some of the partners include Chartered Institute of Management and Leadership and Crown Point International College of Science and Technology.
