The Group A members in the maiden cooking competition of Barkalheri Global Academy have emerged winners with their spicy jollof rice, Faruk Ahmed reports
When Barkalheri Global Academy (BGA) organised its maiden cooking competition on Monday November 19th, 2018, little did we know that the event will be so rich, educating, appetising and fulfilling. At the end, staff and pupils left with their tummies filled and smiles all over their faces, having savoured sumptuous meals.
Watch the video below:
The idea of the competition sprouted when the pupils of primary three and four suggested the school organise one for them to gauge their culinary skills. Being a school open to innovations, we accepted the proposal, promising to arrange it when much of the academic works have been dealt with. And hence, on the appointed date, we had the Barkalheri’s Maiden Cooking Competition.
The kids were grouped into two: A comprising Batulu Umar Alhassan, Fatima Kabir Salihu, Abdullahi Usman Abubakar and Hassan Haruna, while B comprised Hafsat Musbahu Abubakar, Maimuna N. Abdullahi, Abubakar Faruk Abubakar and Muhammad Umar Alhassan. The two groups were assisted by aunties Ganiyat Ganiyu and Amina Sulaiman Ishaq, respectively.
