Shagaya family organises prayer to mark 10-year remembrance of grandmother
The Shagaya family, on Sunday, organised a prayer to mark the 10-year remembrance of their grandmother, Alhaja Batuli Ajobi Shagaya, who was the community leader and trader in the third republic.
While speaking at the 10-year remembrance in Ilorin, the state capital, Sheikh Habeebullah el-Ilory, identified the Shagaya Family as foremost in the religious, socio-economic, and political developments in the state.
He enjoined the scions to keep doing philanthropy in the good memories of their forebears and the interest of the state.
He said, “The Shagaya Family is known for business, industry, and philanthropy. The late Hajia Batuli Ajoke lived a virtuous life with success in business. Above all, she was a great and kind mother to all whose love for children and Islamic and western education was remarkable. These are great values that must not die. The children and grandchildren of Alhaja Batuli have started well and are urged to grow in this right path.”
Sheikh Habeebullah described Sheriff Shagaya and his siblings as the pride of the emirate, noting that the good work of the former house of the representative candidate and his association with Salman Shagaya Foundation is phenomenal.
He urged him not to depart from his path of humility and love for religion, humanity, and development.
The prayer which was hosted by the first son of Alhaja Muinat Shagaya, Alhaji Sheriff Shagaya, his siblings, and other members of the family, witnessed the associates and political supporters of the family.
