Katsina State has launched the 2026 Climate Change Competition for students, inviting thousands of young people to showcase their understanding of climate action.
The competition, organized through the Katsina State Climate Change Secretariat under the Governor Dikko Umaru Radda Green Prize Initiative, aims to inspire youth engagement in environmental sustainability.
Hon. Suleiman Ribadu, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Climate, announced that students from primary, junior secondary, and senior secondary schools across Katsina State can participate.
“This competition promotes climate awareness and environmental responsibility among our youth,” Ribadu said.
Participants will produce short video presentations based on climate quotations from Governor Radda’s speeches, demonstrating knowledge of climate change adaptation, mitigation, and environmental stewardship.
The competition aligns with Governor Radda’s vision to build a climate-resilient and environmentally sustainable Katsina State.
“Winners will receive the prestigious Governor Dikko Umaru Radda Green Prize, which includes cash rewards, certificates, and special recognition. Entries will be evaluated by a panel of experts who will assess students’ understanding of climate issues and their commitment to environmental action,” Ribadu stated.
