The Vice President and Flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia will on Friday, November 22, commission the Walewale Central Mosque in Walewale.
The new mosque, facilitated by Dr. Bawumia, who hails from the town, is fitted with modern facilities for both men and women section, as well as offices for the Imam.
Walewale has a huge Muslim population and the town's old mosque has over the past years been unable to accommodate the population.
The magnificent mosque, construction of which started a few years ago, has been expanded to provide enough space for the town's growing population.
The commissioning of the mosque is expected to coincide with the congregational Friday (Jummah) prayers in the afternoon.
Traditional rulers, Imams as well as the Walewale community and its surroundings, are expected to attend.
Vice President Bawumia has over the years extended support to the Zongo and Muslim community in various forms, including personally funding the construction and renovation of mosques and schools across the country.
Even though a Muslim, Dr. Bawumia has also notably extended strong support in various forms, including personal contributions towards the building and renovation of Chapels and schools, and other programmes of the Christian community.
