The National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) has granted the Arabic Training Institute (Markaz), Agege, an approval to commence National Diploma in Combined Law and Common Law, reports thegazellenews.com
The approval came after the successful resource verification by a team of National Board for Technical Education to ensure that Markaz has the necessary resources and capacity to run the two programmes.
The resource verification included inspection of the school resource library, the classrooms, the offices, the clinic, the Moot Court, the Digital Technology and Language Laboratory, the Information Communication and Technology Centre, Conference Room, Seminal Hall, and Indoor Sports Halls, School Hostel among others.
According to the Mudeer of Markaz, Mawlana Sheikh Muhammed Habibullah Adam Abdullah El-Ilory (OON), “the vision of Sheikh Adam Abdullah El-Ilory was to advance education standard as well as promote the understanding of Islam by all necessary means. Since the Qur’an is the first primary source of Islamic Law, it is good for us to incorporate Islamic Legal Studies in order to promote the understanding of Islam, the Qur’an and to give support to humanity.”
With this achievement, students of Markaz as well as other Muslims from different Arabic and Islamic schools can now proceed for Legal Studies at Markaz where they can obtain National Diploma in Sharia and Common Law (Combined Law) and National Diploma in Common Law.
This will create more opportunities for them in life without compromising their Islamic way of life.
“Admission for these two programmes will only be through UTME of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board with relevant O level result (WAEC, NECO, GCE, NBAIS).
“We congratulate Markaz and the entire Markaz Members on this beautiful achievement,” a statement by Nurudeen Ibrahim, spokesperson to the Mudeer of Markaz said.
