Saraki Celebrates 100 Years of Az-Zumratul Adabiyyah School

On Sunday, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, the former Senate President and Baba Adinni of the Ansar-Ul-Islam Society of Nigeria, delivered a goodwill message at the centenary celebration of the Az-Zumratul Adabiyyatul Kamaliyyah School of Arabic and Islamic Studies in Ilorin. He described the institution as a defining entity of Ilorin and Kwara State, noting that few Nigerian institutions have lasted a century while continuing to thrive.

Saraki expressed gratitude for the school's legacy of knowledge and faith, which he credited for Ilorin's reputation as a Centre of Knowledge. He acknowledged the contributions of the late Sheikh Kamaludeen Al-Adabiyy and praised the efforts of successive Khalifahs in expanding the institution's vision.

Saraki highlighted the school's role in establishing other institutions, including the Ansar-Ul-Islam Society and Muhammad Kamalul-Deen University. He donated N150 million to support the centenary activities and ongoing development of the institution, alongside his scholarship program for 100 students at the university.
