A graduate of Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto (UDUS), Ibrahim Jatto, has returned to his alma mater to engage students in writing contest.

Ibrahim, who graduated from Department of Zoology, is a CAMPUSLIFE correspondent and a member of Union of Campus Journalists (UCJ).

The writing contest tagged: El-Critical Writing Spree, was organised by Pen Press in honour of Ibrahim, who was former Editor-in-Chief of the club. It featured three categories of creative writing, which are prose, poetry and short story.

The club Staff Adviser, Dr Jimoh Hamzat, a lecturer at the Department of Sociology, extolled the virtue of the honoree, praising Ibrahim for his contribution to the development of campus journalism in the school.

Hamzat also hailed Ibrahim for bringing gifts to the winners of the competition, saying the items would motivate students for more participation.

An alumnus, Mallam Abubakar Anka, described the gesture as wonderful, urging other ex-members of the club to emulate the honoree by giving back to the association that made them.

Highlight of the event included presentation of award to winners. Jameelah Yusuf, a 200-Level Law student, emerged overall winner from the three categories. Abdulqaudry Hassan, a 200-Level Education Biology student, was the first runner-up, while Abiodun Adewunmi, emerged the second runner-up. Five other students received consolation prizes.

The Editor-in-Chief of Pen Press, Halimah Akanbi, hailed the sponsor for the initiative, urging him to sustain the contest.
