It gives me a great pleasure to welcome you to the unique world of IQRA College, Ilorin, a world that is at once a synthesis of the past, the present and the future. The golden age of Islam during which Muslims led the world in learning and culture was the source of inspiration for founding the College. This led to the creation of an ambience that inculcates strong desire for learning in staff and students, not as an end in itself but as a means to helping humanity to overcome current and future challenges.Being aware of the knowledge and skill gaps between our immediate environment and the developed world, we have structured our present to focus on achieving global competitiveness. This is why we have embedded 21^st century skills in our curriculum so that our students can compare with their peers anywhere in the world. The future we are working towards is one in which students who pass through our College will play a leading role on the world stage to revive the golden era of Islam and to be at the forefront in deploying arts, science and technology to overcome the challenges facing humanity.
