The National Security Adviser (NSA) Mallam Nuhu Ribadu has expressed delight over the community effort to establish a new Islamic centere in his Bako Ward of Yola South local government in Adamawa State.
Speaking after touring the complex, which consists of a mosque, Islamic learning center,e, and other facilities, Ribadu commended members of the community and other philanthropists who worked for the realization of the project.
He called for more effort and financial support to enable the completion of the complex which has reached the 80 percent completion stage.
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,g, 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 aspirations of the community.
A community leader and member of the mosque project committee, Alhaji Ahmadu Baminda said they used the 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 center is realized in good time,” he said.
