Kazeem noted that Prof. Sulaiman's appointment was a testament to his hard work, dedication, and exceptional leadership qualities.

"He is indeed a round peg in a round hole,"he said.

He added that Prof. Sulaiman, being a seasoned Islamic scholar and administrator would bring his experience of more than 20 years in teaching and research as well as pious religious observances according to the Sunnah, to the Board.

Kazeem further said that with Prof. Sulaiman's wealth of experience, it would not take long before Islam will become the dominant religion not just in Nigeria but the entire West African Sub-region.

The Spokes person  also commended the former President, Mohammadu Buhari for appointing a highly qualified and experienced individual in person of Prof. Sulaiman to lead the Board.

"We believe that Prof Sulaiman's wealth of experience and expertise in academia and administration will enable him to steer the NBAIS to greater heights.

"We believe that with his leadership and the support of all stakeholders, the NBAIS will continue to thrive in its mandate to promote the study of Arabic and Islamic Studies in Nigeria,"he added.

Kazeem urged Prof Sulaiman to build on the solid foundation and achievements of the former Registrar, Prof Shafiu. 

He wished Prof. Sulaiman a successful tenure as the Registrar of the NBAIS, while being optimistic and confident that under his leadership, the NBAIS would continue to promote the study of Arabic and Islamic Studies in Nigeria.(NAN)
