CITIZENS COMPASS—Sequel to the demise of its erstwhile Secretary General, Mallam Nafiu Baba Ahmad, the Supreme Council for Shariah in Nigeria (SCAN) last week appointed Professor Ahmad Bello Dogarawa as its new Secretary General.
Meanwhile, a sister organization, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has felicitated with the new Secretary General as well as the Shari’ah Council.
MURIC wrote:
”The Supreme Council for Shariah in Nigeria (SCSN) last week appointed Professor Ahmad Bello Dogarawa as its new Secretary General. This was sequel to the demise of its erstwhile Secretary General, Mallam Nafiu Baba Ahmad.
“We heartily congratulate Professor Dogarawa on his new position. At the same time, we commend the SCSN for doing diligence in its new choice. The Shari’ah Council has put a round peg in a round hole.
An academic of timber and caliber, Dogarawa teaches accounting at Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, Kaduna State. He is also an Islamic scholar with a strong foot in Islamic economics and Islamic finance.
”As a Fellow of the Association of National Accountants of Nigeria and a Certified Management Trainer with a first degree in Business Management, a Master’s degree in Banking and Finance from Bayero University, Kano and a doctorate degree in Accounting and Finance from ABU, Professor Dogarawa stands tall with a most intimidating curriculum vitae.
”MURIC felicitates with this academic giant as he assumes his daunting task as general scribe of the SCSN. We affirm our full confidence in his ability to run an efficient secretariat for Nigeria’s Shari’ah ombudsman.”
