Kadiri described Summit University, Offa as the pride of Muslims everywhere, saying: “It is one of the few Islamic faith-based Universities.

“Knowledge is strongly emphasized by Islam as Muslims have contributed greatly to science and technological advancement of the world. Do not forget that Muslims Arabs led the world in the mathematics, medicine astronomy and even architecture at a period the for Europeans called the Dark Ages.

“Summit University, Offa is not only a blessing for Muslims, but, a blessing for Nigeria and indeed the world through world class teaching, research and service to the community”.

“The Proprietor, Ansar-Ud- Deen Society of Nigeria is one of the oldest Islamic organizations in Nigeria which has remained consistent in providing education and propagating Islam in different parts of the country and even in a few countries abroad”, Kadiri said.

The Society that was formed in Lagos on 21 December 1923 by a group of young men – forty two in number to be precise – who wanted to promote the cause of education and ensure the nobility of the practice of their faith.

They deplored the prevalent ignorance of the times and wanted to enhance the status of their people by the pursuit of knowledge.

In their quest for education and nobility, they maintained good relationship with the traditional and religious leaders of the time, and enjoyed the support of the political authorities.
