Executive Director’s Speech

All praises and adorations belong to Allah for His mercies and blessings. We beseech Him against the antics of the accursed Satan, especially against corrupting our sincere intentions.
Foremost, I feel highly elated as the first Executive Director of the First Class Muslim Foundation (FCMF) which is newly registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in December, 2018. The foundation aims to prepare Muslim youths in both the academic institutions and the industry for excellence, which underscores Islam’s philosophy that Muslims should distinct themselves with merit in all their endeavours.
Also, I want to appreciate Mr. Sulaimon Ogunmuyiwa, a Senior Partner with M-Solution Consulting International Ltd. (MSCI) for the laudable initiative that metamorphosed into the establishment of this foundation. MSCI initiated the programme to equip Muslim first class graduates of Nigerian higher institutions with the skills they require to optimise the opportunities attainable with their degrees. The programme started in 2017 with the training of 17 first class graduates and was sustained in 2018 with the training of 19 more graduates making a total of 36 Muslim first class graduates from 15 higher institutions that have been coached by the organisation.  For both years, MSCI organised three days residential training for the M-First Series participants turned ‘scholars’ at no-fee and they were coached by scholars in the academia and titans of industry. We appreciate Mr. Ogunmuyiwa and his MSCI team that put together the feat (Mr. Abolore Shobayo, Mr. Faheed Olajide, Mr. Azeez Sarafadeen, Mrs. Bushroh Bombata, Miss Rayhanah Razak, Mrs. Ganiyat Tijani-Adenle, Mr. Wasiu Balogun, and Mr. Nuh Sulaimon) for their efforts.

Hon. Sobayo Abolore Abdul-Azeez -Executive Director
