Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia will hand over the refurbished Tamale Central Mosque to the Northern Regional Chief Imam and mosque leaders later today.
It should be noted that in September 2020, the Chief Imam and Alhaji Opha requested that the Vice President contribute to the cost of the work done on the bottom floor by a Kumasi contractor.
After a jummah (Friday) prayer in Tamale in late November 2020, the Vice President paid the bill and proclaimed his intention to complete the remaining works of the almost 50-year-old Mosque, which included the second and third floors, the minarets, the penthouse, lighting, painting, and other works.
"I am excited to report that on Friday, 6th January 2023, the Vice President would be in Tamale to formally hand over the refurbished and completed Tamale Central Mosque to the Northern Regional Chief Imam and leaders of the mosque," said an Aide to the Vice President, Akbar Yussif Rohullah Khomeini.
"I was tasked to supervise the work and we hired professional engineers to cost the entire project and work started in earnest.
"It is exciting to note the work has been completed and it is only proper that it is handed over to the leadership of the mosque. It is also gratifying that the Imams are gathering to recite the Quran as a thank-you gesture to the Vice President on that day.
"You are all invited to join the Vice President to observe jummah prayers on Friday. In Sha Allah."
