The Edo State MUSABAQAH Board has announced a two-week intensive training programme for Qur’anic students across the state in preparation for the forthcoming National Qur’anic Competition scheduled to hold in Maiduguri, Borno State, in December 2025.
According to a statement signed by the Acting Coordinator of the Board, Sheikh (Barr.) Hamza Umar Usman, the training will run from Saturday, August 30 to Sunday, September 7, 2025, beginning daily at 9:00 a.m. at Arafat Mosque, Auchi in Edo North.
The programme is designed to identify, groom and select representatives who will fly Edo State’s flag at the prestigious national competition.
Sheikh Usman emphasized that the training is open to all Qur’anic students in Edo State and participation is absolutely free.
He further urged interested students and their tutors to take advantage of the opportunity, noting that the MUSABAQAH remains committed to promoting Qur’anic knowledge and excellence among Muslim youths in the state.
The National Qur’anic Competition is an annual event that brings together participants from across Nigeria to showcase mastery of Qur’an recitation, memorization and interpretation.
Edo State has continued to make its mark at the competition, with expectations high for a strong showing this year especially as a new leadership has emerged in the board.
