The Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at, Nigeria has laid the foundation of one of the centenary mosques for the 100 years anniversary of the Islamic organization in Nigeria. The Mosque named Nana mosque in Offa Kwara state will be built by Engineer Abdul Ganiy Omokanye, for the jama’at to mark the 100 years celebration in 2016. Deputy head (Naib Amir) Special Duty), Alhaji Hammed Al Hassan on behalf of the Amir, DR Mashuud Fasola thanked the donor of the mosque and urged other Muslims to build a house for Allah for greater reward in life and the thereafter.
As part of the remarkable celebration of the 100 years of the group in NIgeria, early in the year, the Amir, Dr Fashola sought the support of the Jamaat members in giving a face-lift to all the Jama’at mosques across the country.
Many of these mosques have remained uncompleted for a long time, while there are urgent and compelling need to build new ones to step up tabligh activities, and as part of effort for physical expansion and development of the Jama’at in Nigeria.
In order to achieve this, a National Mosque Building Trust Fund Committee has been set up to mobilize funds and identify areas for these laudable projects across Nigeria.
Members of the Committee are: Dr Y. A. Habeeb, Naib Amir North – Chairman, Alhaji M.B Odukoya, Sadr Majils Ansarullah, Vice Chairman Alhaji Abdul Azeez Alatoye, Naib Amir Southwest, Abdul Ganiyu Enahoro, Naib Amir, Eastern Region, Builder Bashir Towolawi – Secretary to the Committee, Alhaji Muffadil Bankole – Chairman of the Jalsa Planning Committee,Qasim Akinreti, Secretary Publications, Engineer Adeoye, Secretary Audio- Visual,Alhaji Atanda, former Circuit President Abuja , from Abuja Jama’at, Alhaji A.G.Idris, National Financial Secretary, Dr. Samiullah Tahir, Ahmadiyya hospital, Apapa, Alhaji Tajudeen Onabanjo from Portharcourt.
We gathered that Committee has designed models of mosque for the rural, semi-urban and urban areas across the length and breadth of the country. On this assurances, Engineer Omokanye seized this initiative for heaven reward in memory of his late mother. Meanwhile, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Organization, MKAN, Lagos State Chapter will hold its first Annual Conference with the theme: ‘The Role of Nigerian Youth in Peace Building Reconciliation and National Development’,on Saturday, April 18, 2015 at the Mahmud Ahmadiyya College, Ijede, Lagos.
