Katsina State Government has launched the 2026 Climate Change Competition for students to showcase their understanding of the phenomenon.
The Chief Press Secretary to Gov. Dikko Radda, Mr. Ibrahim Kaula-Mohammed, made this known in a statement in Katsina, the state capital, on Monday, March 16.
He stated that the competition was organised through the Katsina State Climate Change under the Gov. Dikko Radda Green Prize Initiative.
According to him, the competition is to inspire youth engagement in environmental sustainability.
Kaula-Mohammed quoted the Senior Special Assistant to the governor on Climate Change, Mr. Suleiman Ribadu, as saying: “Students from primary, junior and senior secondary schools across Katsina State can participate.
“This competition promotes climate awareness and environmental responsibility among our youth.”
He added that participants were expected to produce short video presentations based on climate quotations from Gov. Radda’s speeches, demonstrating knowledge of climate change adaptation, mitigation and environmental stewardship.
The competition, he said, aligned with Radda’s vision to build a climate-resilient and environmentally sustainable Katsina State.
“Winners will receive the prestigious Gov. Dikko Radda Green Prize, which include 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,” he said.
He stated that students can apply online on www.govdikkogreencompetition.com., to be submitted not later than April 10.
He encouraged eligible students to participate and contribute their ideas to Nigeria’s climate agenda.
