Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, got agog yesterday as the pace-setting global Islamic society with over 360 branches, Nasrul-Lahi-L-Fatih Society (NASFAT), made history with the launch of its landmark history book at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja. The event brought together a distinguished audience including the chief host, His Eminence, the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, Ministers, Ambassadors, former diplomats, the Comptroller-General of Customs Bashir Adewale Adeniyi, and numerous dignitaries.
Representing NAHCON Chairman/CEO Professor Abdullahi Saleh Usman, the Acting Head of Protocol, Shamsudeen Abba, conveyed NAHCON’s admiration for NASFAT’s enduring service in faith, education, and humanitarian causes. The launch reflected a deep sense of pride in the society’s 30-year journey.
In his welcome address, NASFAT President, Dr. Ayodeji AbdulWahid AbdulRauf FCS, described the publication as “a living testimony” to NASFAT’s vision, resilience, and spiritual commitment since its founding in 1995. He traced its transformation from a small prayer group in Lagos to a global movement with over 360 locations worldwide.
The Sultan of Sokoto, in his goodwill remarks, warmly applauded NASFAT for its remarkable contributions to moral guidance, social development, and peaceful coexistence. He praised the society’s dedication to education, youth empowerment, and community service, affirming its relevance to national unity and progress.
Dr. AbdulRauf also expressed heartfelt thanks to the Ministers of Marine and Blue Economy, Health, Education, the Attorney-General of the Federation, VIPs, Ambassadors, the press, and NASFAT members. He encouraged generous support toward NASFAT’s social impact projects, including Fountain University and the NIC Mosque Project.
The event was both a celebration of NASFAT’s heritage and a renewed pledge to uphold its mission—serving faith, fostering unity, and inspiring future generations.
