 His Imperial Majesty, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, CFR, has made a significant appointment, naming 35-year-old Alhaji Hussaini Salisu Muhammed as the new Seriki Hausa of Ifeland on Friday, October 18. This decision comes after the passing of the previous Seriki Hausa, who left a leadership void within the Hausa community about a month ago.

Alhaji Muhammed, a distinguished graduate of The Polytechnic of Ibadan, will now take on the crucial role of leading the Hausa community in Ile-Ife. His appointment was formally announced by Otunba Moses Olafare, Director of Media and Public Affairs at the Ooni's Palace in Ile-Ife.

Under Oba Ogunwusi's guidance, Ile-Ife has witnessed notable transformations, including urban redesign and architectural reconstruction, making it an attractive tourist destination. His philanthropic efforts, particularly through the House of Oduduwa Foundation and the Hopes Alive Initiative, have positively impacted many lives.

As Alhaji Muhammed assumes his new role, he will likely build upon the Ooni's vision for a harmonious and thriving community. With his leadership, the Hausa community in Ile-Ife can expect a renewed sense of direction and purpose.

Alhaji Muhammed, the newly appointed Seriki Hausa of Ifeland, has deep roots in Ile-Ife, despite hailing from Sokoto State. Born and raised in the historic town, he enjoyed a nurturing upbringing by his parents, Alhaja Jubril Hussaini and Alhaja Hauwa Kulu.

Alhaji Muhammed's educational journey began in Ile-Ife, where he attended Ansarul Islam Primary School and later Oduduwa College. He then pursued higher education at The Polytechnic of Ibadan, equipping him for future endeavors.

As a respected figure within the Hausa community, Alhaji Muhammed boasts a impressive profile. He is a successful entrepreneur and devoted family man, blessed with three loving wives and eleven children. His leadership skills and community standing make him an ideal choice for the esteemed position of Seriki Hausa.
