Governor Ademola Adeleke has assured Muslim Community in the State that there is no plan to demolish Mosque in the ongoing Ilesa road dualization.
The Governor’s spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, quoted the Governor as saying that his earlier assurance to the effect that the Central Mosque would not be affected by the road dualization, during the ‘Ipade Imole’ remains unchanged.
“Governor Adeleke has received the plea of the Ijesa Muslim leaders and has directed that fresh assurance be given that the mosque is not billed for demolition in the ongoing road dualisation.
“The muslim ummah should not entertain any fear as the mosque remains intact. Only the extended canopies will be affected, not the main building as earlier indicated.
“The Governor has also directed officials of the Ministry of Works and Infrastructure to interface with the Muslim leaders on the subject matter.”
While commending stakeholders for actively supporting the ongoing dualisation at Ilesa, the governor said that he is committed to the implementation of the multi-billion naira Infrastructure upgrade with an eye on deep local content and active community engagement and collaboration.
