Osogbo, Nigeria (IINA) - President of Muslim Ummah of South-West Nigeria (MUSWEN) Alhaji Sakariyau Babalola has donated an administrative building to Fountain University in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, The Nation Newspaper of Nigeria reported.
Signing the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in Lagos on Tuesday, Babalola said it was in support of the university’s development. The school was founded by the Nasrul-Lahi-l-Fatih Society of Nigeria (NASFAT).
Babalola, who is a well-known philanthropist, said: “Fountain University is foremost Islamic-oriented higher institution. As Muslims, we have a duty to support the laudable project. I believe this donation would be an inspiration to other Muslims to contribute whatever they have to sustain the school. It gladdens my heart when I discovered the moral teaching being imparted on students.”
The MUSWEN president urged the project contractor to finish it within the stipulated period. The Vice Chancellor of the university Prof Bashir Raji said he was elated by the Babalola’s gesture, saying: “It is rare to see an individual committing huge amount of money for the development of an institution. We will encourage such gesture, because we don’t enjoy government’s subvention.”
