Sultan of Sokoto Visits IIIT 

His Excellency Dr. Muhammad Sa'ad Abubakar III, Sultan of Sokoto, Nigeria, visited IIIT on Tuesday, July 26th. He had a brief meeting with IIIT executives and then he attended the special lecture "The History of the Sultanate of Sokoto and its Current Challenges" with his group and invited guests.

Dr. Abubaker Alshingieti, Executive Director of IIIT, welcomed His Excellency and the guests and acknowledged the principal organizer of the event, the International Interfaith Peace Corps (IIPC), a new organization founded by Imam Mohammad Magid, former President of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and current Imam of ADAMS Islamic Center in Sterling, Virginia. Imam Magid gave a synopsis of the organization and its major role in family health and education in Africa, especially in Nigeria. He was followed by Dr. Hisham Altalib, IIIT President, who gave a brief history of the IIIT and its mission.

His Excellency Sultan Abubaker thanked IIIT for welcoming him and his group. He mentioned that "the work that we do back in Nigeria through our various foundations and efforts in interfaith interactions and what IIIT is doing here are complementary". " I think we will have a mutual common ground to work with more closely." he added. His Excellency mentioned that one of the greatest jobs that gave him satisfaction in the last ten years was publishing the works of his forefathers who were scholars who wrote about 350 books in various disciplines from the Islamic point of view to medicine to astronomy and many other subjects. At the end of his speech, he presented various volumes of these publications to IIIT.

After the guests enjoyed a delicious dinner, Dr. Usman Bagaje, the keynote speaker, spoke about the history of the Sultanate of Sokoto as well as the contemporary challenges facing it.
