It was a very momentous occasion for the Muslim community in the North East Region of Ghana when Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia joined thousands of worshippers to commission the newly built Walewale Central Mosque on Friday. The event, which coincided with the observance of the weekly Jummah prayers, marked a milestone development in Islamic infrastructure in the region.
It was a grand ceremony hosted at Walewale, the capital of the North East Region, where the newly completed mosque symbolized the religious and communal growth standing tall as one of the biggest and most modern in the area. The project was financed by the government in partnership with local and international philanthropists, envisioned to be larger and more accessible to worshippers, accommodating the growing Muslim population in the region.
The event, which started with a short ceremony led by Islamic leaders, was graced with the Jummah prayers attended by thousands of Muslims in Walewale and its surrounding towns. Dr. Bawumia gave a short address, calling for religious tolerance and unity among the populace and highlighting how infrastructure promotes social development. He thanked all those who contributed to finishing the mosque, emphasizing how it would not only serve the community as a place of prayer, but also as a facilitator of community development, education, and social welfare.
In the process, the Vice President took occasion to reassure Liberians that the government remains committed to supporting religious and educational projects that transform citizens' lives irrespective of their religious backgrounds. He urged members of the community to take good care of the mosque by ensuring continuous maintenance and usage in generations to come.
The commissioning of the Walewale Central Mosque marks a very important milestone in the lives of both the government and the Muslim community within the North East Region. This is expected to cement, at deeper levels, the region's religious, cultural, and social fabrics, affording a central place of worship and community cohesion for many years to come.
