PRESS RELEASE:
OSUN AT 30 : MURIC HAILS
OYETOLA, CONGRATULATES SHAYKH HADIYATULLAHI
The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has commended the governor of the
State of Osun, Alhaji Isiaka Oyetola, as twenty eight (28) distinguished
citizens receive awards to mark the 30th anniversary of the establishment of
the state. MURIC also congratulated the recipients, particularly Shaykh Abdul
Rasheed Hadiyatullahi who will receive the Osun Lifetime Achievement Award.
This was disclosed in a statement issued on Monday, 20th
September, 2021 by Professor Ishaq Akintola, the director and founder of MURIC.
The statement reads:
“We of the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) commend the governor of the
State of Osun, Alhaji Isiaka Oyetola for deeming it fit to recognise
distinguished citizens in commemoration of the 30th anniversary of
the founding of the state. In particular, we are very delighted with the
decision to honour Shaykh Abdul Rasheed Hadiyatullahi with the Osun Lifetime
Achievement Award.
“The Osun Lifetime Achievement award falls in the first category of the
awards planned for Tuesday, 21st September, 2021. Other categories
include the Osun Legacy Award, Osun Merit Award and Osun Distinguished Citizens
Award.
“The recognition given to Shaykh Hadiyatullahi is well deserved. As the
president of the Supreme Council for Shariah in Nigeria (SCSN), the chairman of
the Concerned Yoruba Muslim Scholars and a bona fide indigene of the
State of Osun (from Iwo town), the awadee deserves nothing less.
“An alumni of the Arabic Institute of Nigeria, Ibadan and the University
of Madina in Saudi Arabia, Shaykh Abdul Rasheed Hadiyatullahi is a first class
Islamic scholar and a mentee of the highly respected and legendary late Shaykh
Murtada Abdul Salaam of Ita Bale, Ibadan. Hadiyatullahi is an international
figure and widely travelled. He recently received an award in far away Saudi Arabia.”
