This was announced yesterday, 18th of December, on the SprinNG official website. To announce the winner, Tomi Adesina has this to say about Ogadinma,

“An outstanding read! It takes you through different motions and you cannot but applaud the author for such delivery. One minute you’re crawling in fear for the protagonist, the other you’re annoyed by her naivety, but at no point do you doubt the writer’s skills at placing us in the heart of the story.” Tomi Adesina.

Ukamaka Olisakwe is a contemporary Nigerian writer and essayist, whose works have appeared in many notable magazines. She is the founder of Isele Magazine, and is currently pursuing a PhD in English at the University of South Dakota. Congratulations to her.
