Sen. Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko has announced the donation of three Lesser Hajj seats to Ahmed Abubakar and Dahiru Yahaya Giyawa, following their outstanding performance at the 2026 Qur’anic Recitation Competition held at the Royal Embassy, Abuja, Nigeria.

Impressed by their achievement and dedication to the study of the Glorious Qur’an, Senator Wamakko announced the donation of three Lesser Hajj seats as a gesture of encouragement and support for their commitment to Qur’anic knowledge.
The winners were accompanied on the visit by renowned Islamic scholar in Sokoto State, Dr. Sani Abdullahi Jos, and the Director of Musabaka at the Sokoto State Arabic and Islamic Education Board, Aminu Gidadawa.
The gesture reflects Senator Wamakko’s encouragement of Islamic scholarship and his support for young people who distinguish themselves in Qur’anic studies.
May Almighty Allah continue to bless their knowledge, reward their efforts and make the opportunity for Lesser Hajj a successful and rewarding spiritual journey. Amin.
