“Giving back to society, helping and supporting communities (and people), intervening in areas that bring a positive impact to communities and those in need are very, very close to my heart. This is what I want to continue doing and devoting my time to in the coming years,” he said.

Rabiu also called on others to join him in supporting the reconstruction of the mosque.

“I, therefore, implore each and every one of you to join me in supporting this worthy cause by donating to the reconstitution of the Zaria Central Mosque,” he said.

“Let us come together as a united front, bridging the gap that divides us and fostering unity and progress in our beloved nation. In supporting this effort, we are not only preserving something of historical significance but also investing in the Education and Empowerment of people in the Zazzau Emirate and other parts of Nigeria.

“We are building a foundation for a better and brighter future. Therefore, on behalf of myself, my family, and my foundation ASR Africa I would like to make a contribution toward the reconstruction of this very important and significant project of 2 billion naira.”

Rabiu is one of Africa’s notable philanthropists. In 2021, he established ASR Africa, a nonprofit aiming for sustainable solutions to developmental challenges in Africa’s healthcare, education, and social sectors.

Since its start in 2021, the initiative has committed $100 million to its initiatives, marking its intent to be a significant philanthropic presence in Africa.
