At the University of Ilorin, he served as the Director of several units, including the Academic Planning Unit and the Centre for Ilorin Studies. He was appointed Deputy Chief Imam of the University of Ilorin in 1992 and became the substantive Chief Imam in 2008. He retired from the university on his 70th birthday in February 2020. He is renowned for his exceptional command of English, Arabic, and Yoruba, often serving as a spellbinding communicator and exegete on the minbar (pulpit). Contributions to Society: Beyond academia, he has facilitated the building of over 40 mosques and is a strong advocate for the elevation of Arabic education in Nigeria. He remains a highly respected mentor and "teacher of Professors," known for his uprightness, humility, and dedication to the intellectual legacy of his predecessors.
