Nasrul-Lahi-L- Fathi Society (NASFAT), Kebbi branch, has re-elected Ismaeel Oluwaseun Suleiman as its branch chairman for the second term alongside other 24 executive members.
Suleiman was re-elected by the Shura-committee of the society and inaugurated alongside others after the society’s prayers at the NASFAT Jumuah Mosque.
The inauguration was done by the zonal chairman of the Society, Mr. Yusuf Yahyah, who was represented by his vice chairman, Mr. Abdulrahim Aliyu in Birnin Kebbi.
Suleiman urged the new executive to be transparent, humble and sincere with the progress of NASFAT.
“Let us work together as one united family, putting aside personal interest and focusing solely on the collective good of the Ummah. Unity must be our strength, service must be our identity. Excellence must be our standard,” he said.
Earlier in his remarks on the achievements recorded by the immediate past executive, Suleiman disclosed that during their period as the executive of the branch, they were able to start Jumuah Service at the NASFAT Mosque on Friday, October 20, 2023 after the approval from the Kebbi State Ministry of Religious Affairs.
He said they had achieved the five-point agenda they targeted, such as membership growth, financial improvement, project development, welfarism and youth development through skill acquisition and empowerment.
“While significant progress was recorded, the administration also encountered challenges, including financial limitations, infrastructure constraints, need for wider membership mobilisation, sustaining youth participation and balancing rapid growth with institutional ability.
“The progress recorded under the five-point agenda is all products of collective effort and divine grace.
“Though much has been achieved, much more remains to be done. The foundation has been laid, it is now our collective responsibility to sustain, strengthen and advance the vision.”
Zonal Chairman of NASFAT in charge of Sokoto, Kebbi and Zamfara states, Mr. Yusuf Yahyah, represented by Vice Zonal Chairman, Abdulrahim Aliyu commended the outgone executive of Kebbi branch for their sacrifice and hardwork, which had resulted in the uplifting of the society to a higher level in the state.
He urged the new executive to be dedicated, ready to sacrifice a lot to the society and be always responsible to their duties.
A former chairman of the branch, Mr. Abdulazeez Nura, charged the new executive to bring back all the old members of the branch to the fold of the society, saying that such efforts would improve the strength and influence of the society into the state.
Chairman of the Elders’ Council in the zone, Mr. Surajudeen Atanda Sahabi appealed to the new executive to start working from where the immediate past executive stopped and ensure unity among members.
