IEDPU hails MKU on new feat
Following the receipt of its full operational licence from the National Universities Commission (NUC) on Wednesday, 14th October 2026, Ilorin Emirate Descendants Progressive Union (IEDPU) has felicitated with the authorities of Muhammad Kamalud-Deen University (MKU), Ilorin on the development.
In a statement in Ilorin, the Union's National President, Alhaji Abdulmumini Ayo Abdulmalik, described the development as an attestation to the growth and acceptability of the University since it first opened its gates to students over three years ago.
Alhaji Abdulmalik said that the development is even more inspiring as it came a few days after the celebration of the monumental centenary anniversary of the Az-Zumratul Adabiyyah Kamaliyyah School of Arabic and Islamic Studies, Ilorin, an institution whose establishment marked the beginning of the career of the founder of the Ansarul Islam Society of Nigeria and pioneer Grand Mufti of Ilorin, Shaykh Muhammad Kamalud-Deen Al-Adabiy, which culminated in the founding of the University.
Alhaji Abdulmalik specifically commended the Visitor to the University, Shaykh Mustapha Kamalud-deen; its Pro-Chancellor, Prof. Shuaibu Oba AbdulRaheem, OFR; the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Rasheed Gbenga Jimoh; and the entire management, staff and students of the University on the feat.
The Union encouraged the authorities of the University to continue to pursue the lofty ideas and philosophy of the late Shaykh Kamalud-Deen for it to produce outstanding individuals who will make positive marks on the sand of time as he did.
