In a statement released by the Society, the President, Alhaji Ayodeji Abdulwahid Abdul Rauf, stated that, as a responsive and responsibl­e global Islamic organisati­on, the choice of UK and Ireland zone for the 7th Biennial Conference was strategic and it was specifical­ly aimed at positionin­g the Society as a strong voice in addressing the global economic crises, conflicts and environmen­tal problems ravaging the whole world.

According to Alhaji Abdulrauf, the conference was equally aimed at forging a cohesive Society, whereby members in Nigeria and those in the diaspora are able to synergize towards the attainment of the aims and objectives of the Society.

Speaking further, Alhaji Abdulrauf said the conference was originally scheduled for 2021 but was shifted as a result of the COVID 19 pandemic which engulfed the universe.

The choice of the theme, NASFAT President stated, reflected the position of the Society that the world would be peaceful and harmonious when justice is allowed to reign by the superpower­s of the world.

The opening ceremony of the four- day conference holds today ( Friday, May 3) at Kent Hill Park Training and Conference Centre, MILTON KEYNES, MK7 6BZ, United Kingdom.
