The National Higher Institution Convention of Muslim Students has advised the Federal Government to buckle up and put all within its reach to secure the campuses, schools and the society.
It noted with concern the ethno- religious crises, protests, and kidnapping which have continued to increase every day in the country, while the campuses have become unsafe and secondary schools being attacked among others .
These are part of the communique issued at the end of its 34th Convention with the theme “Raising Security Consciousness In Our Campuses: The Role Of MSSN” held last Weekend in Kaduna, Northwest Nigeria.
The MSS in the Communique, directed all its branches in Northern Nigeria to set up security structures to partner with existing security outfits of their respective institutions to contain the prevailing monstrous insecurity ravaging the campuses.
The participants also resolved that the MSSN A-Zone shall partner with security agencies to train her members, basic self-defence techniques and the role that Muslim students could play towards ensuring effective security on campuses.
The communique condemned in totality what it calls un-Islamic western secular ideologies, atheism being notable among them.
In order to forestall the spread of ideologies that seek to undermine Islamic values, the Communique accordingly, urges all branches of the MSSN to re – intensify Da’awah activities.
The MSSN A-Zone, according to the Communique , appealed to the governor of Kaduna state, Mal. Nasiru el-Rufa’i to revisit and review the recent increase in tuition fees of tertiary institutions across Kaduna state with a view to making it more affordable to the less privileged students
The MSSN A-Zone extended its condolences to the families of members who lost their loved ones recently and particularly, condoled with the Zonal Chairman, Bro. Muhammad Bin Isa who lost his father at the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan.
It further extended the condolences to the family of Dr. Mustapha Isa Qasim, Imam of Ahmadu Bello University and Islamic Trust of Nigeria Central Mosques, who passed away at the end of the same month.
The Communique enjoins Muslims Ummah to be ambassadors of Islam, promote peace, love and be God fearing.
The 34th National Higher Institution Convention of Muslim Students (NHICOMS) brought together 145 registered participants from various institutions across the 19 northern states and Abuja, as well as leaders of the Society from Area Units and Area Councils.
