Particularly, the body of Islamic leaders urged the federal government to show genuine interest to change the ugly narratives in the nation’s tertiary education system and honour all contractual agreements without further delay.

The league stated this in a statement jointly signed by its President General, Dhikrullahi Afe-Babalola and the Secretary-General, Tajudeen Mustapha, respectively on the state of the nation. The clerics advised the federal government to lead the way toward revitalising the tertiary education in the country and repositioning it to its rightful status.
