SHE DID IT — AND SHE DID IT IN HIJAB!
Being a woman is NOT a limitation. Wearing the hijab is NOT a barrier. If anything, it’s proof that excellence speaks louder than stereotypes.
We are beyond proud to celebrate Ajoke Musharafat Bello, a brilliant final-year Food Engineering student at the University of Ilorin, who has just secured a spot as a Top 10 finalist in the prestigious FMN Prize for Innovation 5.0 — out of over 2,000 entries nationwide! 💪🏽
Her groundbreaking project, VitA-Cookies, is not just an idea — it’s a solution.
A powerful, cassava-based innovation aimed at:
✔️ Combating Vitamin A deficiency
✔️ Reducing Nigeria’s dependence on wheat imports.
This is what impact looks like. This is what the future looks like. And yes — this is what a hijabi woman breaking barriers looks like. 💛
Let’s show her massive support and push this innovation to the top.

Al- Baqarah 2:1
وَٱلَّذِينَ يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيۡكَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ مِن قَبۡلِكَ وَبِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ هُمۡ يُوقِنُون
And who believe in what has been revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], and what was revealed before you, and of the Hereafter they are certain [in faith].
Al- Baqarah 2:3
ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡغَيۡبِ وَيُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقۡنَٰهُمۡ يُنفِقُونَ
Who believe in the unseen, establish prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them
Al- Baqarah 2:2
ذَٰلِكَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبُ لَا رَيۡبَۛ فِيهِۛ هُدٗى لِّلۡمُتَّقِينَ
This is the Book about which there is no doubt, a guidance for those conscious of Allāh.
