Former Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Ibrahim Idris CON has expressed satisfaction with the level and quality of work being carried out in the on-going 1,800-seater ultra modern Central Mosque in Anyigba town.
Idris made this known yesterday during an inspection of the project which is an initiative of the former Governor and is being singlehandedly sponsored by him.
Located on a 1.3 hectare of land in the heart of the town, the 1,800-seater facility will include offices, 50 male and female toilets and a school.
Idris, the leader of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, explained that the Mosque is a dream come true, as he had long desired to provide a befitting worship Centre for his people.
He noted further that the project was an aspect of community service and his own modest way of impacting on the spiritual growth of the people.
“God has been good to me all through my life. I know I cannot pay him for his superlative mercies on me. I am grateful for what God has done for me. I feel there is no better way of thanking him than to provide a place where others can come and worship him.”
Idris commended the contractor handling the project for doing a good job and not minding the cost.
“For me I enjoy spending that money for God. No matter the amount, whatever I might have spent on it cannot be equated with what God has done for me. This is just like a tip compared to the benevolence of God in my life.”
The former governor who has successfully executed similar initiatives in Idah, Ejule and Abejukolo all in Kogi East, called on other privileged individuals to imbibe the virtue of giving back to God and the society, irrespective of their religion.
