“We are happy to inform you today that the university emerged the best employer in this region,” he added.

He appealed to NSSF to always invest
the contributors’ money in projects that do not contradict their religious teachings.
“We are happy with your assurance that our money is invested in projects that are compliant with the Islamic teachings. We pray that you continue doing so and always look out for products which do not contradict with our religious teachings,” Dr. Sengendo said.
