Nuhu Ibrahim, a Nigerian medical
student at the Nims University, India, Sunday won the ‘Global Youth Awards
2016’ at the Third World Youth Conference in India.
Ibrahim
was recognized by the conference for the work of his foundation, Alabura Foundation, in Bauchi state and
other parts of north-east Nigeria.
The
foundation provided healthcare facilities to lacking communities and persons
displaced by violence in north-east Nigeria.
Youth
organizations from 97 countries around the globe attended the ceremony this
year.
Ibrahim is an indigene of Bauchi State and is currently in the Nims Dental College, University of Nims, India.
Appreciating
the recognition, Mr. Ibrahim called on youth groups to intensify efforts in helping
the less-privileged people living in their communities, especially on
health-related issues.
“I’m glad
that most of the youth leaders across the globe present in the conference are
inspired with the Alabura Foundation activities. I also encourage those who
haven’t started community work in their various countries to start.
“My advice
to all is that: Set your mind and start working on any of the sustainable
development goals, so that no one should be left behind,” he said.
