EMINENT Nigerians have extolled the virtues of one of Africa’s most celebrated Muslim scholars, Sheikh Adam Abdullahi Al-Ilory. Al-Ilory, a widely published author and founder of the Islamic and Arabic Training Centre (Markaz), Agege, Lagos, was born in 1917 and died in 1992. Saraki said the Senate would continue to make laws that guarantee conducive atmosphere for learning in order to eradicate illiteracy. According to him, the contributions of Sheikh Al-Ilory to the propagation of Islamic and Arabic knowledge in the country were great and were yielding fruits across the country. The Ogun State governor said Sheikh Al-Ilory left an indelible mark on human capital development, pointing out that Islam denounces terrorism and encourages knowledge acquisition.
