His election occurred during the Society’s 11th Triennial Conference in Abeokuta, Ogun State, which also marked its 101st anniversary.
He succeeded Aare (Dr) AbdulRafiu Sanni as the 15th president of the body since its establishment in 1923.
Kazeem, a seasoned legal practitioner and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, pledged to lead with transparency, unity, and a commitment to Islamic values.
He emphasized initiatives such as enhancing educational outreach, reforming Summit University’s management, and launching the AnsarCare Initiative to provide medical aid and vocational training for widows and orphans.
