Date: 2017-10-24

The Acting Chief Missioner of Nasrul-Lahi-Fathi Society (NASFAT) worldwide , Imam Abdul Azeez Onike says the society has received the sum of forty one million Naira as aid from UNICEF to lead the campaign on violence against children in Lagos and Cross Rivers States.

According to him , the campaign exercise has commenced in the past two weeks in the two nominated states after the society had signed an agreement with UNICEF for the project.

Imam Onike disclosed this in Ilorin , the Kwara State capital while featuring on a Radio Kwara personality interview programme "Playing Host" The Acting Chief Missioner said the society had also gone into collaboration and synergy with international organisations like the Jimmy Carter Center and other Non Governmental Organisations in the United States of America, United Kingdom, Germany , Bokinafaso, Holland and Ghana in terms of training and retraining and in the areas of human right propagation.

He noted that in the past twenty years , members of NASFAT at home and abroad have been funding the activities of the society but various international organisations have now seen credibility, standard , probity and genuine propagation of Islam and peace in their activities and decided to partner with them in improving the cause of humanity and other humanitarian services .

Imam Onike added that the society which has over one million members and over three hundred branches across the world have intensified in their campaign against all forms of violence and inhumanity against fellow human beings .

The acting spiritual head also disclosed that the society has disbursed over one hundred million Naira in the past four years to assist the less privileged among its members and even non-members regardless of tribe or religion in terms of their educational pursuits, addressing of their health challenges and setting up of small scale enterprises.

He announced that NASFAT is the first Islamic Organisation in the country that would establish a fully accredited and licensed university , the Fountain University situated at Oshogbo in Osun State while most of their students are on scholarship across the world.

Imam Onike condemned and kicked against the activities of the Boko Haram sects stressing that there is no compulsion in Islam and explained that what NASFAT stands for is to promote western and Quranic education, to empower the less privileged and to propagate and showcase the beauty of Islam as a religion of peace particularly among youths.

The acting spiritual leader of NASFAT called on all its members to continue to be good ambassadors of Islam and the society wherever they found themselves and appealed to Nigerian leaders and the followers to change their orientation of governance and stop celebrating mediocres and people with questionable sources of wealth.

Imam Onike enjoined Nigerians to continue to cohabit with one another irrespective of religion , race or tribe and support the government so that peace and tranquility would continue to reign supreme in the country.

He disabused the minds in some quarters that there is disagreement or rancor in the society but rather explained that its former spiritual head , Alhaji Abdullahi Akinbode resigned his position voluntarily and he as his deputy stepped into his shoes inline with the provision of the societies constitution and assured that very soon , a substantive Missioner would emerge as about seven people including himself have been screened for the position.

He also debunked the claims by some people that NASFAT is a Yoruba, sectional or regional society stressing that recently, Sheik Dahiru Bauchi from the North was invited to deliver lecture in one of their programmes which he graciously honored and said the society is widely spread across the world.
