Our Mission & Vision
Address from our Ameerah
As we begin this tenure, I wish to emphasize three guiding principles that will shape our leadership: 1. Collective Responsibility – No single individual can achieve FOMWAN’s mission alone. We must work as a team, respecting our different strengths and complementing one another. 2. Continuity and Innovation – We will build on the solid foundation laid by our predecessors while introducing new approaches that respond to today’s realities. 3. Spiritual Grounding and Integrity. Our strength as a faith-based organization lies in our devotion to Allah (SWT). Let us anchor every decision, action, and program in Taqwa, transparency, and accountability.

FOMWAN acquired a landed property at Utako, Abuja in 1992, laid foundation in 1995 and the land remained virgin until 1999, when the Certificate of Occupancy was obtained. FOMWAN National Headquarters’ Complex project includes the Administrative building, a Hostel block, Conference hall and mosque.
