“As we reform our economy and tackle insecurity, we rely on institutions like NASFAT to reinforce the moral and spiritual fabric of our society,” Tinubu said.
“Faith must inspire action. We need your continued partnership in promoting peace, reducing tension, countering misinformation, and nurturing the values of unity and patriotism.”
Delivering the keynote address, Dr. Nurudeen Lemu urged Muslim faithful to remain steadfast and optimistic despite the country’s challenges.
He called for patience, endurance and stronger collaboration among faith-based organisations to drive development and good governance.
Prof Is-haq Oloyede, Secretary General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, praised NASFAT as “one of the five-star Islamic organisations,” adding, “We believe five-star will not be enough, because people are now talking of seven-star, and I believe NASFAT will be there.”
He prayed for the continued growth of the organisation and emphasised the need for a modern application of Islamic principles.
“The world is changing, and our understanding of Islam must also change with time. The application of Islam in the public space must also change,” he said.
“For those who are thinking very well, they will know that Islam is not in a good way.”
