NSCIA Calls for Muslim Unity and Excellence in Service

During the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) General Assembly at the National Mosque in Abuja, Prof. Salisu Shehu, the Deputy Secretary-General, called for Muslim unity and excellence in public service. He conveyed the message from Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, the Sultan of Sokoto and President-General of the NSCIA, urging Muslims to remain committed to their responsibilities as citizens.

Shehu emphasized that national development requires collective effort, particularly from Muslims. He highlighted Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, the former Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), as a standard of excellence in public service, noting his 10-year tenure that showcased professionalism and responsibility.

Shehu urged Muslims in authority to view their roles as opportunities to reflect Islamic values and to strive for excellence in all aspects of life, especially as Nigeria marked its 66th Independence Anniversary.
