Speaking on the uniqueness of the UNIFEMGA 2021 Honours Day, the new National President , Alhaji Abdulfattah Olanlege, said those to be honoured were carefully selected and have excelled in various fields of human endeavour.


Olanlege said that the hitherto two-day event was reduced to a-day due to the COVID-19  pandemic hence the adoption of both physical and virtual mode as well as decentralising the centres for ease and participation of all members both in Nigeria and those in the Diaspora. 


Since 2011 when the maiden edition of the National Honours’ Day started, 145 members have so far been honoured and rewarded for their landmark achievements.


UNIFEMGA, whose vision statement is to be the foremost Muslim Alumni Association in the World, is an association of Muslim Graduates from the then University of Ife as well as Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State.
