Born on April 22, 1940, into the illustrious royal lineage of the Ilorin Emirate, His Royal Highness is a direct descendant of Sheikh Alimi, the revered Islamic scholar and founder of the Ilorin Emirate. His life has been marked by excellence, dedication, and a deep sense of service to humanity.
Before ascending the throne as the Emir in 1995, His Royal Highness held the influential title of Ciroma in 1984 and distinguished himself in Nigeria’s judiciary as a seasoned legal luminary and presiding Justice of the Court of Appeal.
Since his enthronement as the 11th Emir of Ilorin, His Royal Highness has been a beacon of unity, peace, and development. Under his visionary reign, the Ilorin Emirate has witnessed tremendous strides in education, religious harmony, cultural preservation, and youth empowerment.
The IEDPU USA branch is immensely proud of the Emir’s enduring legacy and continues to draw strength from his exemplary leadership. We are grateful for his consistent support for our diaspora community and his fatherly guidance to the global Ilorin Emirate family.
As we celebrate this milestone, we pray to Almighty Allah to continue to grant His Royal Highness good health, long life, increased wisdom, and many more years of peaceful and prosperous leadership. May his reign continue to be a source of blessings to the Ilorin Emirate, Kwara State, and Nigeria at large.
