In addition to the scholarship, Dr Saraki also donated N26 million towards the infrastructural development of the university. The funds will be used to provide different facilities in the university, which will benefit the students and faculty members alike.
“As a bona fide son of Ilorin, Baba Adini of Ansarul Islam Society of Nigeria, and the Waziri Ngeri of the Ilorin Emirate, this project is personal to me,” said Dr Saraki. “This commissioning is a great project for every son and daughter of the Emirate, not only for the legacy of Sheikh Kamalud-Deen but for what we can do as Ilorin Emirate community. It is a project for society, and that’s why it’s our project. That is why I have been playing my role since it started in 2005 until today.”
The university was founded by the first Grand Mufti of Ilorin and founder of the Ansarul Islam Society of Nigeria, the late Sheikh Muhammad Kamalud-Deen Al-Adaby. The institution has been providing quality education to students since its inception, and Dr Saraki’s donation will help to ensure that more students have access to higher education without any financial constraints.
