According to Alhaji Abubakar, “We believe that in every profession, there are some exceptional Muslims who go the extra mile to use their knowledge and expertise to benefit their fellow Muslims and humanity at large. Now, it’s time to recognise their efforts and celebrate them, because if we don’t blow our trumpet, no one will. Besides, as Muslims, no one can write our success stories better than us.”

A panel of professionals and trustworthy Muslims set up by the organisers is already putting finishing touches to come up with the overall winners in the two topmost categories — Global and Nigerian Muslim Personality of the Year 2024.
For the winners to emerge in the newly introduced categories, Alhaji Abubakar said the Committee is working closely with the National leadership of five notable Muslim professional bodies in Nigeria — Muslim Lawyers Association of Nigeria (MULAN), Islamic Medical Association of Nigeria (IMAN), Muslim Media Practitioners of Nigeria (MMPN), Muslim Professional Accountants’ Association (MPAAN) and Muslim Teachers Association of Nigeria (MUTAN)
According to Mr. Abubakar, “To ensure that the right people emerge in all these categories, we’ll be teaming up with MMPN for the selection of Muslim Media Person of the Year; MULAN, IMAN, MPAAN and MUTAN will assist in the selection process for the winners in Law, Health, Finance and Teacher, respectively.

“The remaining categories including Philanthropist, Muslim Brand, Muslim Celebrity, Muslim Scholar of the Year will be handled by the #MNAwards2024 Committee. In a situation where more than one credible person is selected in each category, we would resort to voting and the best among the best will emerge,” he added.
The organisers are seeking moral and material support from individuals, corporate organisations and relevant government agencies in actualising the project, while appreciating those who have been been of assistance from the inception in 2018. Follow this link to support.
The winners will be announced on Saturday, April 26, 2025 through all our social media and some selected media partners
