Abstract

The Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria (MSSN) is arguably the country’s largest Islamic organization, in terms of numbers. The mother body for all Muslim students at all levels of education in Nigeria; it has the largest membership base in the country. Established in 1954, to serve as a common front for Muslim students, MSSN is unaffiliated in terms of ideology as it draws membership from all sects, ideologies and movements associated with Islam in Nigeria. At the top of the society’s hierarchical echelon is the National Secretariat. Directly working under it are the ‘A Zone’ comprising northern states, and the ‘B Zone’ which oversees the states in the south. Each State of the Federation has an Area Unit but not all Local Government Areas has an Area Council. The district division is represented by central branches under which there are branches in secondary and tertiary institutions of learning. This article attempts to unveil the activities and challenges of the Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria, Nasarawa Area Unit.
