Jigawa Hosts National Orphans’ Qur’anic Recitation Competition

Jigawa state government hosted the National Qur’anic recitation completion, which was participated exclusively by orphans from 28 federation states.

The competition, organised by the Aytam International Foundation, was designed to encourage and support orphans in their search for education and give them a sense of belonging to society.

Speaking at the closing ceremony and awarding prizes for the two-week competition, the Jigawa state governor, Malam Umar Namadi, said that organising such a competition will help promote religious knowledge and moral discipline among the young generation.

“ This is a moral booster for children who lost their parents to be more determined in seeking knowledge, and also a challenge for every child and parents to understand knowledge is the key to effective moral discipline and successful social and economic life for every human being.”
