KNTHC, an initiative of the Katsina State Government, was set up in 2021 to encourage innovation and develop the potential talents of youths from the state and Nigeria.
In his remarks at the Prize Presentation Ceremony, the Director General of National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC) Mr. Jelani Aliyu applauded the Governor of Katsina State Aminu Bello Masari for the initiative of KNTHC in harnessing the talents of the young people in the State.
“I am indeed beyond words in trying to explain how excited and honoured I am to once again be in Katsina for this great occasion. That we are all gathered here today is testimony to the unprecedented leadership of Your Excellency”.
The NADDC boss also charged other Nigerian youth across the country to focus more on harnessing their talents. He added that Nigerians would benefit more if similar programmes are initiated by other states governments.
In his speech, Governor Aminu Masari revealed that the Talent Hunt Competition was borne out of the desire to develop the potential talents of the youth in the state and Nigeria at large.
Governor Aminu Masari congratulated the participants and urged all the winners to use the prizes won judiciously for the benefit of humanity.
The competition registered over 100 participants in different categories, including Arts & Design Category, Automotive Model & Products Category and ICT Category. All the participants at this year’s Grand final received prizes in monetary value.
Last year, the overall winner of the Katsina National Talent Hunt Challenge (KNTHC) Season 1 received the sum of N5 million and a brand new Toyota Highlander SUV.
