Other Initiatives
The Dawahnigeria project is a huge initiative crafted to address the present and future needs of Nigerian Muslims. Our goal, as a body, is to expand the frontiers of IT in the propagation of Islam.
The dynamic nature of IT imposes dynamism on our methodology. Below are the projects we have worked on and some of the major projects we intend to execute, insha Allah:
