Addressing the relevance of the conference’s theme, Tinubu stressed the importance of constructive societal engagement while upholding Islamic principles. He encouraged the gathering to develop bold, practical solutions to challenges ranging from youth empowerment to economic inclusion and moral leadership.

He reaffirmed his administration’s dedication to building an inclusive and prosperous Nigeria under the Renewed Hope Agenda, focusing on economic recovery, poverty alleviation, and the restoration of public trust.

Tinubu emphasized the need for partnerships with credible, value-driven institutions like Ansar-Ud-Deen to achieve national goals. He expressed gratitude for the Society’s consistent prayers and counsel, urging them to continue their efforts as advocates for unity and national progress.

Earlier, Alhaji Abdul-Rafiu Sanni described the conference as an opportunity to reflect on past successes, address present challenges, and map out future strategies centered on education, moral development, and national unity.
