The attendees unanimously praised the program, describing it as a groundbreaking and enriching experience that exceeded their expectations. The guest speakers, renowned for their expertise and eloquence, delivered assertive and informative lectures that left a lasting impression on the audience. The distinguished speakers included Prof. M.L. Ahmadu, Vice Chancellor of Rayhan University; Prof. Ibrahim Abdullahi SAN; Dr. J.B. Marshall, Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice, Kebbi State; Justice Maryam Kawoje, High Court Judge; and Justice Abubakar Adamu of Sokoto High Court, who is also a patron of NAMLAS_UDUS.

The NAMLAS_UDUS contingent was led by its AMEER, Nura Sani Bena, along with Hussain Yahya Bawa: Alkali of LAWSAN JUDICIARY UDUS, Muhammad Nasir Junju: KELSA P.R.O and Sadiq Tafarki. The event also drew esteemed alumni from the Faculty of Law, including former LAWSAN President, Diyaul-Haq Hamza, Abubakar Nababa, and other distinguished graduates.

As we reflect on the success of this program, we pray that the knowledge gained will benefit the entire Muslim Ummah and inspire future generations of legal professionals. We eagerly anticipate more programs that foster intellectual growth, professional development, and community engagement.

CONDOLENCE LETTER ON THE DEMISE OF DR. A. A. ISIYAKA

On behalf of the Nigerian Association of Muslim Law Students (NAMLAS), UDUS Chapter, we extend our deepest and heartfelt condolences to the family, colleagues, students, and the entire academic community over the passing of Dr. A. A. Isiyaka.

The news of his demise came to us with great shock and sadness. Dr. Isiyaka was not only a distinguished lecturer but also a mentor who shaped minds with humility, wisdom, and sincerity. His commitment to knowledge, his gentle character, and his dedication to the growth of students will remain a lasting legacy in our hearts.

Indeed, “To Allah we belong, and to Him is our return.” We pray that Allah (Subhānahu wa Ta'ālā) forgive his shortcomings, illuminate his grave, expand it for him, and admit him among His righteous servants. May Allah grant his family patience, strength, and comfort during this difficult moment.

May Allah make this loss a means of elevation for him and a reminder for us all.

Wassalāmu alaikum wa rahmatulLāhi wa barakātuh.
