Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has officially commenced the reconstruction of the historic Malam Abdulkarim Juma’at Mosque, which partially collapsed in August 2023, resulting in the tragic loss of six worshippers and injuries to 10 others.

The mosque, a 187-year-old landmark, had shown visible cracks before the incident. Ahmed Bamalli, the Emir of Zazzau, had earlier revealed that plans were underway to repair the structure before the unfortunate collapse.

Speaking during the flag-off ceremony on Sunday, Sani commended the generous contributions of donors who have supported the rebuilding effort.

According to the governor, over ₦2 billion has been raised since the formation of a fundraising committee in October.

“The speed and manner in which people responded is a testament to the high esteem in which this great monument is held and the place of religion in our personal and national life,” Sani remarked.

The reconstruction project, estimated to take 18 months, aims to restore the mosque to its former glory while ensuring its structural integrity for future generations.

Sani expressed gratitude to AbdulSamad Rabiu, who played a leading role in fundraising, and to Emir Bamalli for his dedication to ensuring the successful commencement of the project.

“The Emir has worked round the clock to ensure that a befitting edifice is erected here,” Sani said, urging continued support from the public. “Those who donated to the rebuilding of the mosque will benefit in the hereafter.”
