Islam and university education in contemporary Nigeria
(M-Class Publishers, 2008) Oladosu, A. A.; Abbas, L. O.; Oladosu, H. U.
This paper examines the contemporary problems confronting education in the Islamic world and critiques effort already put in place to solve them. It begins with an excursus into classical history of Islamic education and proceeds from there to discuss the politics and inherent challenges facing tertiary education particularly in Nigeria. It concludes that a pragmatic approach to solving the identified problems would be the adoption of Islamic philosophy which emphasizes a non-utilitarian approach to education as a whole.
Islam in contemporary Africa: re-reading history, contemplating challenges
(2016-01) Oladosu, A. A.; Abbas, L. O.
This paper is hinged on the following propositions: that any inquiry into the problematic of Islam in contemporary Africa must engage, not only with how the past has shaped the present, but equally with how the latter would likely shape and, in turn, be -shaded by possibilities in the future; that contemporary challenges facing Islam in Africa nests, in the main, in the disconnect between Islam in the text and the fissures in the contexts of Muslim realities all over the world. In exploring these assumptions, this paper casts a fresh look at the history and the unassailable patrimonies of Islam in the continent. It proceeds from there to explore some of the challenges facing the religion in the continent. While projecting into the future, the paper sources its discussion from critical perspectives that have been offered by, among others, Ali Mazrui, Sayyid Hussein Nasr and Talal Asad among others.

One nation under God: achieving national integration through interfaith relations on the University of Abuja campus
(2022-01) Oladosu, A. A.; Rafatu, A.; Uthman, O. I.; Oladosu-Uthman, H.; Oke, O. P.
In Contemporary Nigeria, university campuses have become veritable centres not only for religious practices but equally for the recruitment of members by sects, cults, and denominations. Our research project was premised on the assumption that for the country to achieve sustainable integration, undergraduates in the nation's university System should be co-opted as advocates and stakeholders in the onerous task of peacebuilding and interfaith harmony. This paper reports on the initial survey carried out early in the year 2022 among university of Abuja undergraduates (Christian and Muslims) in this regard. The paper used the descriptive research method. A carefully designed questionnaire was administered among five hundred and twenty-four (524) undergraduates from the University. Having deployed the Integrated Phenomenological Approach (IPA) to research, the paper found that respondents were all desirous of a peaceful interfaith space not only on their campus but across Nigeria. They opined that the introduction of a curriculum on interfaith dialogue and the formulation of a policy on religious practices in the Nigerian University System (NUS) would be a long way in entrenching peace among adherents of various religions and ultimately in promoting national integration.
