Our movement

National Executive Council

The government, control and management of the Movement are vested in the National Executive Council.

The Council comprises representatives selected by the respective Missions, numbering not fewer than 20.

Eleven nominated members are selected by the Shurah representatives following the Shurah selection. Historically held every three years, this selection now takes place every four years under the Constitution revised in 1992 and amended in 2025.

The President heads the Movement, assisted by officers selected from among the members of the National Executive Council.

Officers of the Movement

The First and Second National Vice Presidents perform the duties of the President in the President’s absence.

The National General Secretary is supported by two Assistant Secretaries. Other officers include the National Treasurer, Finance Secretary, Legal Adviser, Publicity Officer, Welfare Officer and Education Officer.

The Education Officer chairs the Movement’s Committee on Education.

Missions & local executive councils

The Movement has spread throughout Nigeria from its former Lagos base at 53/57 Ojo-Giwa Street. Its headquarters are now at the Headquarters Complex (White House), Jibril Martin Memorial Grammar School, Iponri, Lagos.

The supplied organisational account describes a nationwide network of at least 68 Missions. The directory presents the named Missions for which details have been supplied and can be expanded as further records become available.

Branches in other parts of Nigeria are known as Missions. Each Mission has its own Executive Council, headed by a Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer, together with other relevant officers for its effective functioning.

AYAN and the Women’s League form part of the Movement’s wider community network.

Trustees of the Movement

The Movement’s real property, whether freehold or leasehold, and other interests in land are vested in its Trustees. These include land and properties used for mosques, schools and residential purposes, as well as those intended for the proposed private university, which remains a planned initiative.
