Our story
Ummul Qura Nursery, Primary and Secondary Schools was founded in 1996 with a clear vision: to create an institution that provides world-class education rooted in Islamic values. What began as a humble initiative has grown into one of the most respected Islamic educational institutions in Southwestern Nigeria.
Our establishment was made possible through the generous support of the International Islamic Relief Organization (IIRO), with land donated by the late Shaikh Murtadho AbdulSalam, a visionary scholar whose legacy continues to transform lives through education.
To be a world-class institution for Islamic and western academic excellence geared towards meeting societal needs.
To provide a nurturing and holistic educational environment that promotes academic excellence, spiritual growth, and strong moral character, guided by the teachings of Islam and a commitment to service.
