Prefectship: Student Leadership at Medmina College

As-Salaam alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,

The early hours of Friday, 15th Safar 1442AH (2nd October 2020) ushered in a new era of student leadership in Medmina College. The tenure of the Class of 2020 which was a bit extended due to the pandemic, was officially brought to an end.

The Head, HR & Admin., Mr Muhammad Abdallah, first delivered a brief talk on leadership, where he emphasised on how important it is for leaders to be ‘responsible for their flock’ (as taught by the religion of Islam). He also prompted the students to learn to be good ‘followers’ and to also remember that in actuality, “You do not need a title to be a leader”.

He finally appreciated the team of the outgoing prefects, led by Oyeyemi Muhammad and Ibrahim Aisha, for their steadfastness and resilience throughout their tenure. The entire school made du’a for Allah to continue to guide and order their steps.

The new Prefects for the 2020/2021 session were then officially handed over to, and decorated by their predecessors. The new team were thereafter prompted to pick up from where the outgoing prefects stopped, and make necessary improvements.

After the new prefects were decorated, the School Imam, Ustadh Kareem Rasheed, gave a very concise talk on how the new student-leaders are expected to lead as Muslims. He also prompted them to take their service as part of ibadah to Allah (SWT).

The ceremony was then brought to an end with prayers as the entire College warmly congratulated the next generation of student-leaders. May Allah grant them success, Aameen.
