The Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) has announced the postponement of the country’s Quran convention which was scheduled to hold on February 22.

In a statement on Friday, Sa’ad Abubakar, the Sultan of Sokoto, said the decision was due to an overwhelming surge in interest, with over 500,000 people expressing interest in attending the convention.

The statement was signed by Ishaq Oloyede, secretary-general of NSCIA.

The sultan said the event was originally planned to accommodate 60,000 participants comprising 30,000 Huffaz (Quran memorisers) and 30,000 other participants but attracted significant interest, including renowned international scholars and foreign delegations.

He said the postponement is an opportumity to enhance the event’s quality and impact.

He also added that the new date will be announced after Ramadan.

“This convention has grown far beyond our initial expectations — a testament to the deep love and commitment our people have for the Quran,” the statement reads.

“Due to overwhelming interest, the number of expressions of interest and accreditation requests has now exceeded 500,000 participants.”

He assured participants that the postponement would allow for improved logistics, an expanded venue, and a more memorable experience for all.

“To ensure that we properly accommodate everyone, including our international partners, we have decided — after extensive consultation with key stakeholders and organisers — that the convention will be rescheduled to a later date to allow for a more structured and inclusive gathering,” the statement reads.

“We remain committed to delivering a groundbreaking, well-organised, and spiritually uplifting convention that will set the foundation for future gatherings of this scale, In Sha Allah.

“We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding, and unwavering support. May Allah (SWT) reward you abundantly, bless our efforts, and grant us the ability to gather in unity for the love of His divine words.”

The funding of the planned convention has raised debates among Islamic clerics as well as allegations that it is politically motivated.
