A reknown businessman, Alhaji Zakari Abubakar-Ola has built and upgraded the mosque in his father’s compound at New-layout, and has been turned to Jumaat mosque.
Alhaji Zakari said the mosque is in fulfilment of a promise he made to his late father, Abubakar-Ola before he died.
In his words, “Alhamdulillahi! Alhamdulillahi! Alhamdulillahi! Before my father passed away, he called my attention to the expansion and upgrading of the small mosque and I made him a promise that I will build or upgrade the mosque in our family compound in New-layout.
“I could not actualize that promise during his lifetime because Almighty Allah (SWT) had other plans”.
“Notwithstanding, earlier today, in fulfillment of my promise to my late father, I have fulfilled the dream and promised made, Abubakar-Ola foundation has embarked on the building of the mosque, and it has been officially declared open today and we performed the first Jumaat service”.
” The same Islamic cleric, Mallam Yakubu Shehu who has been leading us in prayers when my father was alive was the same cleric we appointed as the chief Imam of the Abubakar-Ola mosjid (mosque)”, he said
” I pray that Almighty Allah will answer all the prayers and supplications that are made within its walls. Ameen!,” he said.
