The complex, which has the second largest mosque in West Africa, was commissioned on Friday, July 16, 2021.
It has a grand mosque, an office complex for the National Chief Imam, a clinic, laboratory, pharmacy, morgue and a library.
“The minaret of this mosque is very visible from many parts of Accra. For me, it is not just the beauty that it adds to Accra’s skyline that excites me necessarily,” Akufo-Addo said.
“I am even more excited by the fact that, as a Christian-majority country, a symbol of Islam can beautifully adorn our landscape, and expose the beauty of religious harmony that we enjoy in Ghana, and which continues to be the envy of the rest of the world.”
In attendance at the commissioning ceremony were the current and immediate past Presidents of the Republic of Niger, their Excellencies Mohammed Bazoum and Mahamadou Issoufou, and Professor Ali Erbaş.
Akufo-Addo called on the National Chief Imam and members of the Muslim fraternity to use the occasion of the commissioning of the Complex to unite the country.
