FUO Scholar Secures Second Overall Best Result in Global Imamship, Arabo-Islamic Immersion Examination

Fountain University has recorded another remarkable academic feat as Dr. Mubarak Yusuff of the Department of Arabic and Islamic Studies emerged with the second overall best result in the Global Imamship and Arabo-Islamic Immersion Examination.

The international examination, which attracts top scholars from across several countries, is renowned for its rigorous assessment of advanced competencies in Qur’anic scholarship, Arabic linguistics, Islamic jurisprudence, and contemporary leadership responsibilities for Imams. Dr. Yusuff’s outstanding performance places him among the world’s most promising emerging Islamic scholars.

As a direct result of this achievement, Dr. Yusuff has been selected for a fully funded advanced training programme in Morocco, scheduled for January next year. The programme is designed to deepen participants’ expertise in Imamship, interfaith engagement, and global Islamic leadership.

The Vice-Chancellor of Fountain University, Prof. Olayinka Ramota Karim, described the accomplishment as “a proud moment for the university and a reflection of the institution’s commitment to academic excellence, global relevance, and moral leadership.”

She further noted that Dr. Yusuff’s success underscores Fountain University’s rising profile in international academic circles, especially in the fields of Arabic and Islamic Studies.

The University congratulates Dr. Yusuff and wishes him success as he proceeds to represent Nigeria and the institution on the global stage in Morocco."
