In his speech, the Chairman of the Muslim Community of the Assembly, Hon. Sikiru Osinowo thanked God Almighty for the completion of the mosque.
Osinowo recalled that he started his career in the Assembly in 2003, 16 years ago and that it would come to pass.
Osinowo however, said that the would be permanent and that it could only be renovated or rebuilt.
“We started the mosque project so that we could fulfil the purpose of our coming here. We have been Muslim Speakers, and God made it possible for us to build the new mosque during the time of the current Speaker, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa,” he said.
