تاريخ المركز تأسست المدرسة في شهر ديسمبر عام 1886م على أيدي الآباء المؤسسين، وهم: الإمام كورنغا محمد، والإمام عبد السلام، والإمام يوشع، والإمام موسى، والإمام هارون ألفه أولوكا (رحمهم الله). وقد جاء تأسيسها استجابةً للحرص الشديد على نشر التعليم العربي والإسلامي، ولما كانت تواجهه المنطقة من صعوبة في الحصول على التعليم الغربي، إلى جانب الزيادة المطردة في عدد سكان المجتمع المحلي. وتقع المدرسة في قلب البلدة العريقة أوكي مالي أومادا بمدينة إلورن ولاية كوار، وهي منطقة اشتهرت بكثرة العلماء والمشايخ وطلبة العلم. وكان من أبرز أهداف مؤسسيها تمكين أفراد المجتمع من تعلم تعاليم الإسلام الصحيحة، والعمل بها في شؤون حياتهم اليومية. وقد أُدرجت مبادئ التعليم العربي الإسلامي وتوجيهاته ضمن المنهج الدراسي للمدرسة، كما استُعين بعدد من العلماء المتطوعين للتدريس في المدرسة العربية التقليدية التي كانت تُعرف باسم «إلي كيوو (Ile Kewu)». وكان أبناء المجتمع المحلي أول دفعة التحقت بهذه المدرسة. وعلى مدى عدة عقود، نجحت المدرسة في تخريج أعداد كبيرة من المتخصصين في التعليم العربي، ولم يقتصر أثرها على أبناء المجتمع المحلي فحسب، بل امتد إلى مناطق أخرى خارج المجتمع.
