Young and exceptionally talented Arabic calligrapher from Kaduna State, Zainab Musa Sambo, has presented a unique handcrafted Arabic calligraphy artwork to the former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami SAN, in recognition of his service to the nation. The symbolic presentation took place at Malami’s Abuja office during a courtesy visit.
The calligraphy artwork, creatively designed using Malami’s name as the central inscription, is adorned with symbolic elements representing his resilience, uprightness, and unwavering commitment to justice and service to humanity. Zainab described the piece as not just a work of art, but a visual tribute to Malami’s legacy in Nigeria’s legal and political landscape.
“I chose to design this piece using his name, surrounded by symbols that reflect strength, integrity, and service,” Zainab said. “It’s my way of acknowledging a man who has upheld the values of justice and has shown exceptional dedication to the Nigerian people.”
Zainab Musa Sambo has gained national attention for her distinct style of Arabic calligraphy, which she has used to celebrate faith, leadership, and heritage. Over the years, she has created commissioned works for Islamic institutions, traditional rulers, religious scholars, and mosques across the country, solidifying her status as one of the emerging voices in Islamic art in Nigeria.
In his remarks, Abubakar Malami SAN expressed heartfelt appreciation for the thoughtful gesture. He commended Zainab for her creativity, discipline, and the spiritual depth of her art. “This is not just a gift; it’s a profound expression of culture and character,” Malami said. “I am honoured to receive such a meaningful piece from a young Nigerian who is clearly a custodian of our heritage.”
