The Ogun State Muslim Council (OMC) has congratulated an illustrious son of the state and frontline legal practitioner, Alhaji Hassan Taiwo Fajimite, Esq., on his election as the National President of the Muslim Lawyers Association of Nigeria (MULAN).
In a press statement on Thursday signed by its Secretary-General, Asiwaju (Balogun) Kamal’deen Akintunde, Esq., the Council noted that celebrating Fajimite’s election was a matter of deep pride to Ogun State, describing it as “a highly merited milestone and a direct validation of his relentless dedication to the defense of the believers’ fundamental rights.”
The Council lauded the newly elected President of MULAN “for flying the flag of Ogun State with honour, having carved an indelible niche for himself in the legal profession through his selfless “Da’wah” activities and unyielding advocacy for justice.”
OMC added that “As a Council, we are deeply proud to celebrate one of our very own. Alhaji Fajimite is a distinguished ambassador of the Gateway State whose monumental elevation to this national office is a well-deserved feat. He has personally and collectively undertaken several strategic legal battles to protect and project the interests of Islam.
“A prominent and recent testament to this is his gallant, pro-bono role as the Lead Counsel representing the Muslim Parents of the University of Ibadan (UI) International School in their litigation against the school’s management over the constitutional right of female Muslim students to wear the Hijab.”
OMC expressed absolute confidence in Fajimite’s capacity to pilot the affairs of the national body. The Council prayed that his tenure would usher in a highly impactful era for MULAN, further consolidating the Association as a formidable legal fortress and a proactive “Da’wah” vanguard for the defense of Islam and Muslims across the federation.
It concluded by praying “Almighty Allah (SWT) to bless this new feat, grant the new President divine wisdom, and crown his tenure with unprecedented success. “
