The Muslim Ummah has been charged with the task of strengthening the deen by raising their children in line with the tenets of the faith. The charge was given by the Speaker Osun State House of Assembly, Honorable Najeemdeen Abdulsalam, at the inauguration of NASFAT Ejigbo branch Osun State last weekend.

According to Abdulsalam, Islam is a way of life and it is one faith that prepares individuals for life irrespective of the challenges.

In his goodwill message, he congratulated the society, particularly the new branch. He went further to task them on the need for uprightness and absolute commitment to the course of Allah.

Earlier in his speech at the event, the President of NASFAT, Engr. Kamil Yomi Bolarinwa told the newly sworn in officials of the branch about the enormous responsibility of maintaining a healthy branch, while reminding them of the abundant blessings of Allah for those who serve diligently and honestly.

The President who was represented by the Assistant General Secretary of the society, Brother Badmus Olayinka also warned the newly executive team against any act of indiscipline and financial impropriety which may tarnish the image of the society.

The event had in attendance, the Chief Imam of Ejigbo land, Sheikh Sulaimon Omotokese; the National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Banji Busari; the Osun Zonal Chairman of NASFAT, Alhaji Sefiu Adewunmi; the Chairman, Council of Elders, Alhaji Abdulganiyu Oyinlola; the Zonal Missioner, Prof. K.K. Oloso; and a host of prominent sons and daughters of Ejigbo.

Ejigbo Branch became the tenth inaugurated branch of NASFAT, following closely that of Ikire.
