Ribadu admonished members of the community to use the complex, when completed, as a rallying point for residents of the area and to advance learning especially among the youths.
“We complain a lot about eroding values. A lot of it is because we have abandoned proper learning and inculcating morals in our young ones. I hope this place will help address that,” he said.
The NSA pledged to support the project to meet the aspiration of the community.
A community leader and member of the mosque project committee, Alhaji Ahmadu Baminda said they used ths opportunity of the NSA’s visit for the holiday to show him around the project and to seek his support towards its completion.
“We appreciate all you are doing as an illustrious member of this community. We hope that you will help us to see that this dream of our community to have a befitting Islamic centre is realised in good time,” he said.
