National Chief Imam / Missioner at Anwar-ul Islam Movement of Nigeria

Anwar-ul Islam Movement of Nigeria formerly known as the Ahmadiyya Movement In Islam of Nigeria was founded in the year 1916. The Movement can aptly be described as the pioneer Muslim Organization in the Southern parts of the country, if not indeed the whole of the Federation. Pioneer, or the precursor, in the sense that before the advent of the Movement, countrywide Islamic Societies or mission as they cascade the firmament of religious organizations in Nigeria, of today, were unknown. In that sense, Anwar-ul Islam, which in its long and checked history had undergone many transformations and metamorphosis, is the Pathfinder, the trailblazer.
