THE Monsurat Ipesa-Balogun Central Mosque, otherwise called Mosque Monsurat Ipesa-Balogun, will be officially opened to worshippers today.
The mosque is located at Ogunderu Eletu Street, Awoyaya in Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Area of Lagos State.
A former chairman of Oshodi-Isolo Local Government Area, Honourable Afeez Ipesa-Balogun, said in a statement that the mosque project was started by his late wife, Alhaja Monsurat Ipesa-Balogun, a pharmacist, before her death on March 15, 2019 in the United States of America.
According to him, his wife’s wish before she passed on was to ensure the completion of the construction of the mosque.
Ipesa-Balogun, also a former Lagos State lawmaker, thanked family members and friends for helping to ensure that the wish come into fruition.
Activities scheduled for the opening of the mosque include a special Juma’at service, tour of the mosque, special prayer for the late Alhaja Ipesa-Balogun and her family members.
The late mother of four worked at Kroger Food Stores in Castleway, Indianapolis, United States.
