Saudi Arabia philanthropist Builds Mosque In FULafia

A philanthropist from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (names withheld) has undertaken to build a befitting masjid (mosque) in the Federal University of Lafia (FULafia). 

This information was revealed by the Vice-Chancellor of FULafia, Professor Shehu Abdul Rahman.

Abdul Rahman revealed the information first, when he, recently, led a delegation from the University to the Governor of Nasarawa State, Engr. Abdullahi A. Sule, to appreciate him for the roles he played that led to the establishment of the FULafia Teaching Hospital in Lafia.

Secondly, Abdul Rahman spoke when he hosted the indigenes of Lafia working in the University who, in return, visited Abdul Rahman to thank him for the role he played as far as the establishment of the hospital is concerned.

Already, checks carried out by the FULafia Bulletin have revealed that the construction of the masjid has commenced.

According to the vice-chancellor, the construction of the masjid would last for only five months from August, 2024.

He added that other than the masjid, houses of the imam and his deputy, pharmacy shop and other products shops and an Islamic school would, also, be constructed.

The vice-chancellor thanked the sponsor of the masjid construction from Saudi Arabia for his kind gesture, saying that such an action “can only be rewarded by Allah.”

He urged them to see the masjid project as a blessing to the people and community, praying that the development would lead Muslims in the area and beyond to further understand and practice their religion. 

He called on other well-to-do Muslims to devote huge chunks of their energies and resources to the development of their religion."
