In an interview with DIGEST PRESS, the Ameer of NAMLAS-UDUS, Nura Sani Bena expressed his gratitude to all the members that were able to grace the occasion.

“I sincerely extend my heartfelt appreciation to all my fellow UDUS colleagues who dedicated their time, spent their hard-earned money, and braved the challenges to attend the program.”

While making his appreciative remarks, he also advised his fellow law students to make the most of event of this kind, encouraging them to attend all insightful programmes in order to grow and network with others.

He said, “My advice to NAMLAS-UDUS members is to keep pushing, attend every program you can, it's not just about the event, it's about building connections, gaining insights, and growing your circle.”

Speaking with Abdul-Shakur Uthman, the General Secretary of NAMLAS-UDUS, he equally expressed words of encouragement and stressed on the need for members to learn more about Islamic historical background so as to gain more insights about the religion. 

In his words, “We should all endeavour to study our history thoroughly. This will help us understand where we started, where we are now, and where we are heading.

"If you don't know where you are going, at least know where you came from, so that if you get lost, you can find your way back." We should also set clear goals and work diligently towards achieving them.”
