Abstract:
I like to start this presentation by showing my immense gratitude to the Muslim Ummah
Forum of Federal Polytechnic Kaura-Namoda for inviting me to speak on this very important
topic which has bearing on our collective responsibility as Muslim members of staff working
in tertiary institutions. I must congratulate the Forum for being bold enough to invite a
discussion on a topic that is central to problems bedevilling our institutions of higher
learning and which, many of us, as Muslims, consider as unserious despite the emphasis
Islam places on trust (Amanah). I must also thank you for making my task in this
presentation very easy by suggesting areas this little talk should cover, for which I have no
alternative if I were to be left to do it on my own.
