The President of the University, Dr. Hadi Kamal Ezzat, in his address, stated that the university, which was established in 2000 with a vision to provide quality higher education rooted in Islamic principles that promote innovation, ethical leadership, and moral development in Ghana and beyond, has seen tremendous improvement in the Islamic community.

“From modest beginnings, IUCG has grown into a reputable institution known for extending quality and affordable tertiary education to students from the Zongo communities and other underrepresented areas. We have established ourselves as a centre for research, knowledge dissemination, and the nurturing of morally upright graduates who are committed to national and continental development,” he said.

Dr. Hadi Kamal urged the graduates to persevere in their fields of expertise while contributing meaningfully to society to make a change. “Go forth and shine as proud ambassadors of IUCG,” he stressed.

Addressing the congregation on the theme “A Journey of 25 Years: Celebrating the Past and Embracing the Future of IUCG,” Member of Parliament, Mohammed Issah Bataglia said, “We often struggle with the balance of nature – too much rain brings floods, and too little brings drought. Yet, we haven’t harnessed the power of the sun to energise our industries.”

“What do we celebrate after 25 years? We’ve come a long way. Twenty-one years ago, we faced struggles, but today, we’ve made progress. However, we’re living in a world where materialism often overshadows the value of sacrifice and genuine fulfillment.

“As Islamic University graduates, I urge you to uphold the principles of Islam – speak the truth, and prioritise your soul over worldly applause,” he said.
