”As a Fellow of the Association of National Accountants of Nigeria and a Certified Management Trainer with a first degree in Business Management, a Master’s degree in Banking and Finance from Bayero University, Kano and a doctorate degree in Accounting and Finance from ABU, Professor Dogarawa stands tall with a most intimidating curriculum vitae. ” The statement reads .

It prayed for Allah’s guidance, wisdom and protection for the new Secretary General as he assumes the onerous responsibility of leading the apex Shari’ah body.
