Ex-Tinubu's Nominee Hosts Online Qur'anic Recitation Contest in Kano

Maryam Shetty, a former ministerial nominee under President Bola Tinubu's administration, organized an online Qur'anic recitation contest in Kano. The competition, joined by Mariya Sanusi Bayero, aimed to promote peace and faith.

Thousands participated, submitting videos for review by a screening committee. Shetty emphasized the competition's goal of reclaiming social media as a space for faith and reflection, rather than triviality.

The initiative, named ReciteWithShetty, seeks to inspire young people with the beauty of the Quran and provide a noble purpose for online activities, countering the noise and distractions of the digital world.
