MCLS gifts scholarship to Muslim doctorate students in Nigerian universities

The Muslim Community of Lagos State has flagged off a scheme to award scholarships to Muslims undertaking doctorate studies across tertiary institutions in the country.The Muslim Community of Lagos State has flagged off a scheme to award scholarships to Muslims undertaking doctorate studies across tertiary institutions in the country.

Gbadamosi lamented the low percentage of Muslim PhD holders in Nigeria and emphasised the need to move faster in bridging the gap. “I urge you all to stay committed to the academic programme . You have all signed up for this, so it’s important to show commitment. Similarly, as Muslims, wherever you are undertaking your programme, people should see Islam in you. You are a mirror of the Muslim ummah. You should make the Muslim community proud of you. Please, shun things that are contrary to the teachings of Islam — whether openly or secretly,” the Senator representing Lagos West Constituency noted.

Chairman, Planning Committee of the PhD Scholarship Award, Dr Naimdeen Ekemode, said a lot of Muslims undertaking PhD face financial constraints, noting the Muslim Community of Lagos State has decided to mobilise resources to support them through the scheme. “This initiative is also to stimulate our children to be determined and face their challenges so that they would be useful to society.”

The scholarship awardees are Rayhana Davies-Sanni , Adam Umar , Sogbesan Zaynab , Mikail Saheed , Yusuf Zen-Adideen , Yahaya Isiaq , Ahmodu Tajudeen , Oke Aliyu , Jembi Rafiat and Sulayman Latif . The Centre For Citizens With Disabilities has called for better policy and legal framework on disability rights and climate change.
