The Muslim Lawyers Association of Nigeria (MULAN) has inaugurated new executive officers in Kebbi State, with a charge to advance the cause of humanity and improve the standard of living for the ummah and the nation.
Speaking at the inaugural ceremony, which took place at the Rayhaan University Auditorium hall in Birnin Kebbi, the National President of MULAN, Saidu Muhammad Tudunwada ESQ, represented by the National Publicity Secretary, Aminu Umar Kalgo ESQ, commended the outgoing executives for their dedication and service to the association.
Kalgo noted that Kebbi State has a great history and connection to Islam, being the origin of the Sokoto Caliphate. He emphasized the importance of MULAN taking its place in making the society and the country a better place.
"I charge the officers to be inaugurated here today to have this in mind and advance the course. While I commend the outgoing officers for giving their best, I conclude with the prophetic tradition that says, 'Whosoever among you sees an abomination (evil) he shall correct it with his hand, if he cannot (beyond him) with his voice, if he cannot, then with his mind (hate it in his mind) and that is the weakest form of faith,'" Kalgo said.
The outgoing Chairman of MULAN, Kebbi State Branch, Yusuf Hamza ESQ, highlighted the achievements of his administration, including hosting the NEC/retreat of newly elected national executive officers of MULAN, visiting correctional centers and orphanage homes, and participating in Daawah activities.
Hamza also noted that the association drafted the Hisbah law of Kebbi State and defended it before the Kebbi State House of Assembly, made presentations for the amendment of the 1999 Constitution before the Senate committee on amendment of the constitution, and amended the Violence Against Person Law and Child Rights Act in collaboration with the Council of Ulama.
The event featured a lecture on "Artificial Intelligence in Nigeria: Legal Aspects, Challenges, and Benefits to the Ummah," delivered by Professor M. L Ahmadu, Vice Chancellor of Rayhaan University, Birnin Kebbi.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by high-profile dignitaries and invited guests from Sokoto and other parts of the country.
