Sunday, 17th of December, 2023 was all about Iwoland as another Iwo-born scholar placed our dear city on global radar.
In a remarkable display of academic prowess, Dr Abdulhafis Abdulganiy Adisa, hailing from the Oloba compound in Iwo, has elevated his hometown onto the global academic radar.
The distinguished scholar recently captivated audiences at Imam Muhammad bn Su’ud Al-Islaamiyyah University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as he defended his thesis with confidence and a beaming smile.
Dr Adisa’s groundbreaking research work, titled “Jurisprudential Issues in which Disagreement is Based on Another Disagreement and Their Impact on the Jurisprudential Branches of Financial Transactions: Collection and Study,” not only earned him well-deserved accolades but also secured a distinction grade for his doctorate degree in Sharia.
