About Muslim Ummah of South West Nigeria (MUSWEN)
Muslim Ummah of South West Nigeria (MUSWEN) is the umbrella body for all Muslims in South Western Nigeria as represented by the State.
The need for unity among the Muslims in South West Nigeria with credible leadership was felt for a long time.
But the most significant and successful of attempts towards achieving the objective was an initiative by The Companion, an organization of Muslim men in Business and the Professions, who invited Muslim Organisations and Leaders to a Leadership Roundtable Session in 2004 (1425 AH).
The MUSWEN president explained that the funding of the scholarship scheme – like meeting other financial obligations of the organization – was through, according to him, well-managed monthly subscriptions, annual dues, zakat, and other donations.
He said: “We hope to double this figure next year, God willing. This is because education is perhaps the foremost of all hurdles before Nigerian Muslims today.
“It cannot be overemphasized that education is the master key to overcoming poverty. Only through education can our young men and women acquire skills needed to enhance their employment opportunities.”
He gave the assurance that MUSWEN will continue to focus on the development of education and provision of support for entrepreneurship projects for the benefit of the ummah in southwestern Nigeria.
The chairman of the Board of Trustees, Prince Abdul Jabbar Bola Ajibola, represented by his principal aide, Alhaji Saheed Aweda, commended the presidency and other organs of MUSWEN for working harmoniously for the unity, welfare, and progress of the ummah.
