Ikeja in Lagos.

Committee Chairman, Shakiru Oyefeso, said the Tafsir was long overdue, stating
that the members of the Institute, even the non Muslims will have a lot to gain
from the lectures to be delivered by notable Islamic clerics.
He noted that speakers
include Dr. Saheed Timehin of
the Lagos State University and Dr.
Junaid Sirajudeen of the University of Lagos, adding that the lecture
topic, Tolerance and Inter – relationship in a multi –
religion society is quite apt.
Oyefeso said that the
choice could not be better, stating that it is time, more than ever, to preach
religious tolerance and co – existence in the light of the sad experiences at
the stage of our Nationhood.
CIIN’S Deputy Director – General, Kola Ahmed assured that the Maiden
Tasfsir will be a huge success, stressing that he attended the last Christmas
Carol service along with other Muslim colleagues.
He urged CIIN members of other faiths to attend the Tafsir to share
opinions with their counterparts on the critical topic.
Ahmed also said that dignitaries who have been invited to the Tafsir will
be hosted by the CIIN president Fatai Lawal.
