From the Secretary

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,

It is with a strong sense of duty and service that I welcome you to the official website of the Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria (SCSN).

The Office of the Secretary-General serves as the engine room of the Council – translating  vision into action, coordinating programmes, and ensuring that decisions and resolutions are implemented with efficiency, accountability, and institutional discipline. In this role, we are committed to strengthening the operational capacity of the Council while upholding the highest standards of professionalism and integrity.

This website represents an important step in that direction. It is designed as a dynamic and interactive platform through which the Council communicates its positions, shares its activities, and engages with the Muslim Ummah and the broader Nigerian society. Here, you will find timely updates, official statements, programme highlights, and insights into our ongoing efforts in advocacy, education, mediation, and community development.

In a rapidly changing world, the need for structured engagement, credible information, and thoughtful guidance is paramount. The Council, through its Secretariat, works continuously to facilitate informed discourse, support evidence-based interventions, and foster constructive partnerships with scholars, institutions, government agencies, and civil society organisations.

We are also mindful that effective service requires openness and accessibility. As such, this platform is not only for information dissemination but also for connection and collaboration. We encourage feedback, participation, and shared responsibility in advancing the ideals of justice, unity, and peaceful coexistence that underpin our mission.

Our commitment remains clear: to ensure that the activities of the Council are carried out with purpose, coordination, and impact, in a manner that reflects the true values of Shariah, fairness, compassion, and the promotion of the common good.

We invite you to explore, engage, and partner with us in this collective endeavor.

May Allah (SWT) guide our efforts, strengthen our resolve, and grant success to all that is beneficial to our society.

والسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Nafiu Baba Ahmed, mni

Secretary-General, Supreme Council for Shariah in Nigeria (SCSN)
