Governor Buni, while receiving the young photographer, described his accomplishment as a source of pride for the state and a beacon of inspiration for the youth. He noted that Abdulrahman’s success proves that with determination and hard work, young Nigerians can compete and excel on the global stage.
The governor encouraged Abdulrahman to continue striving for excellence and using his platform to inspire others to chase their dreams, regardless of challenges. He also reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to supporting and nurturing talents across various fields, ensuring that young achievers receive the recognition and opportunities they deserve.
The event was a moment of celebration, not just for Abdulrahman but for the entire state, as Yobe took its rightful place among global achievers. His success story stands as a testament to the untapped potential within Nigeria’s creative industry and the endless possibilities for those who dare to dream big.
