City Model University
City Model University (CMU) is proposed to be a faith-based conventional university opens to all faiths in Nigeria. The principle underlining this orientation is to create an avenue for reaching out to non-Muslims as well as creating an environment where best-in-class learning and knowledge sharing/exchange are promoted. City Model University is located along Awo road Iropora-Ekiti in Irepodun /Ifelodun Local Government Area Ekiti State. It spans over 135.786 hectares of land.
A masjid in the history of Islam has always been a place of worship, an institute, a court,
and a parliament. All these were handed to us by our model and teacher Muhammad
ibn Abdullah ( صلى الله عليه وسلم). The Haram, both in Mecca and Medina, served as the rallying point
for the early Muslims and still serving as the center-point of Islamic unity.
Having delivered the City Model Nursery and primary school, Members then agreed
that the next project was the MASJID. This decision was taken in 2001 inside one of the
classes in the primary section and the following were appointed as members of the
building committee.
