The Amir, Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at of Nigeria, Alh. (Barr.) Alatoye Folorunso AbdulAzeez sahib has visited the Mini Campus site of the Proposed Minaret International University, Ikirun, Osun State (MIU).
The Respected Amir sahib was joined by the Central Auditor from Markaz Mirza Mahmood Ahmad sahib and Iqbal Muhammad sahib, the Respected Mubaligh In Charge Maulvi Adnan Tahir sahib, the General Secretary of the Jama’at Alh. Abbas Olawale Iromini sahib, Dr. Samiullah Tahir sahib, the Assistant General Secretary, Mr. Nurudeen Akinreti sahib among other respected members of the Jama’at.
The Amir sahib with his entourage was able to go round the Mini Campus site of the University to inspect each facility…
Parts of the facilities inspected are;
I. Vice Chancellor’s Office
II Senate Chamber
III. Meeting Hall
IV. Admin Block
V. Library
VI. ICT Centre
VII. Classrooms
VIII. Male and Female hostels
IX. Professors offices, among others.
Education has always been of paramount importance in the history of the Jamaat. Right from its inception at the hands of the Promised Messiah (as), special attention was given to educating the younger generation of the Jamaat.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at supports modern education, and the establishment of this university is aimed to benefit from both Western and Islamic training.
In Nigeria, Ahmadiyya was the first Muslim organisation to establish its own denominational primary school; Talimul Islam Ahmadiyya Primary School in Lagos in 1922, after which so many schools were established.
We pray for the successful completion of the University.
