The Chief Imam of Lagos, Shaykh Sulaiman Oluwatoyin Abou-Nollah, has joined other alumni and stakeholders in assessing the progress of the University of Ilorin since its establishment five decades ago, saying that the University has done quite well to justify its existence.

Shaykh Abou-Nollah, who graduated with a Bachelor degree in Electrical Engineering from the University, made this assertion last Tuesday (October 21, 2025) in a telephone chat with UNILORIN Bulletin.

The renowned cleric explained that the University is worthy of being celebrated by all considering its production of countless professionals who are working tirelessly towards leaving worthwhile and enduring legacies on the sand of time.

Shaykh Abou-Nollah, who recalled his days as a student of the University, said that his five years sojourn at the institution was characterised by life-changing exposure coupled with quality academic and professional training.

As an illustrious and proud alumnus, the Chief Imam promised to attend some of the activities lined up to mark the anniversary both in Lagos and Ilorin.

The spiritual leader  congratulated the Vice Chancellor, management, staff and students as well as alumni and other stakeholders of the University on the Golden Jubilee as he wished the University more years of quality service delivery to the nation and humanity.
