Shittu, Abdulazeez Balogun2024-10-242024-10-242016-02-16https://repository.uniabuja.edu.ng/handle/123456789/626The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) was purposely created, inter alia, to unite the Nigerian Muslim individuals and organisations, to guide on the correct practice of Islam, to mediate in wrangling among Muslim faithful, which usually lead to intra and inter religious violence and to harmonise the major religious celebrations in the country. Being the highest Islamic organisation in the country, this paper looks at some of the achievements of the Council as well as various challenges facing it, in order for it to strategise and make amendments where necessary. The paper thereby offers some suggestions/recommendations on the way forward for the Council to be better positioned in order to meet the aspirations of the Nigerian Muslims and thus become an organisation they will be proud of.enArticle
