The institution, established two years ago as the first Islamic faith-based technical college of its kind in Nigeria, operates under the auspices of Ahmadiyya Educational Institutions. It was established to expand access to technical education and contribute to developing a skilled workforce for the Nigerian economy.
The graduates received training in various technical fields, including electrical installation, computer hardware repairs and maintenance, plumbing and pipe fitting, joinery, masonry and building, software engineering, and coding.
Two female graduates distinguished themselves at the ceremony, earning distinctions in Computer Hardware Repairs and Maintenance and Electrical Installation, respectively.
Speaking at the graduation ceremony, the Amir of Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat Nigeria, Alhaji Alatoye Folorunso Azeez, expressed appreciation to the parents and guardians for giving their children the opportunity to acquire practical and professional skills through technical education.
He urged the graduates to uphold the values of the institution, become worthy ambassadors of the college and their respective professions, and apply the knowledge acquired to contribute meaningfully to national development.
The Ogun State Government also commended the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community for its investment in technical education, describing such initiatives as important contributions to the state’s industrialisation drive and Nigeria’s broader technological development.
The technical education programme received support from the International Association of Ahmadi Architects and Engineers (IAAAE), with contributions from its branches in the United Kingdom and Nigeria.
The graduation marks another milestone in efforts to strengthen technical and vocational education in Nigeria, particularly in developing a new generation of skilled professionals capable of meeting the demands of the country’s growing economy.
