Nigerian poet Maryam Bukar Hassan, popularly known as Alhanislam, made history at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony by becoming the first Nigerian to serve as an Olympic flag bearer.
As athletes marched behind their national flags, the iconic five-ringed Olympic flag was reserved for individuals whose influence goes beyond sports—celebrating global impact, cultural diplomacy, and committed advocacy.
In a ceremony watched worldwide, Maryam received this distinguished honour, recognising her as a cultural ambassador and an advocate for positive change.
