Islam placed a great importance on education, and as the religion expanded across various peoples, education emerged as a crucial means of forging a unifying and stable social structure. As a result, in Islam, everyone has an obligation to educate themselves. Al-Ummah College of Education (UMCOED), Iwo, a faith-based institution that was the brainchild of just one person, Sheikh Daood Imran Molaasan, the Grand Mufti of Yorubaland, Edo, and Delta, has now been added to the list of colleges that have been officially recognized by the National Commission for Colleges of Education in Nigeria (NCCE).
In a statement signed by one of the institution’s representatives, Lukman Solahudeen Ayyubi, Al-Ummah College of Education Iwo was added to the list of accredited colleges of education in Nigeria.
He noted that, the first inspection team to the College was led by Dr Sam Ugwuoti in 2019. The team, along with Iwo born professors, O.O Laldipo, the chairman of the governing board, and Professor Tola Alamu, went around while conducting a resource inspection of the facilities and personnel for its takeoff.
“Professor Alamu made it known then that though the College might be faith based, but it was set up as a conventional institution, charged with the production of high quality, global competitive and entrepreneurial graduates, who would be catalyst for rapid and sustainable social-econimic development of Nigeria.
“The second inspection this year (2022) led by Mrs Bodeoke Olusola paved way to the final approval of the college and the college will resume for New academic season by September, 2022.”
