 The formation of Nasrul-Lahi-Ii-Fatih Society of Nigeria NASFAT — the proprietor of Fountain University — was originally focused on prayer meetings for the Muslim elites, with a view to creating opportunity for them to, interact and rub minds with Islamic scholars and to enhance their knowledge about the principles and practices of Islam.The desire of NASFAT to establish a university was borne out of its education policy and plan enunciated at its strategic retreat in Akodo, Lagos, in 2000.From this humble beginning, the society started a systematic process which led to the hosting of an academic summit of 30 distinguished academic personalities from where an 18-person planning committee emerged in January 2004.
