...condoles Ogun State Government

Al-Hikma University, Ilorin has condoled with the Ogun State Government over the transition of International Jurist and former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Prince Bola Ajibola.

Prince Ajibola, the Founder of Crescent University, Abeokuta, died in the early hours of Sunday, 9th April 2023, aged 89.

In a Statement signed by the University's Vice Chancellor, Professor Noah Yusuf, the late Elder Statesman was described as an exemplary philantropist, role model and pious Muslim..."who lived a life worthy of emulation by all."

The Condolence Message addressed to Ogun State Government, issued on behalf of the Founder, the Chancellor, Pro Chancellor, Management and the entire University, described the late Legal Icon as "one of the most selfless individuals to ever take Nigeria's public service."

Eulogising the former Attorney General for his devotion to the cause of Islam, the statement noted the establishment of an Islam faith-based University, Crescent University, Abeokuta in December, 2005, few months after the take-off of Al-Hikmah University.

"No doubt, his choice of "Crescent" (the Moon), which is a symbol of the Islamic religion, as the name of his University, attests to his level of religious devotion, deep spirituality and one of his greatest contributions to the propagation of Islam."

On the legacy of the late erudite Silk, the VC noted: "his philosophy about life that "wealth means nothing if it doesn't positively impact the lives of others" shall be our life-long "take-away" from his exemplary lifestyle. "

The University expresses its deep condolences to the Governor of Ogun State, His Excellecy, Dr Dapo Abiodun, the Alake of Egbaland, the Olowu of Owu and the entire people people of Ogun State on the loss of the great luminary.
