President Bola Ahmed Tinubu yesterday, commissioned a set of modern facilities at the historic Sultan Bello Mosque, Kaduna, sponsored by Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited (TSSNL).

The projects include a state-of-the-art ablution centre, 50 restrooms with VIP sections, and a 300,000-litre overhead water tank to serve both worshippers and the surrounding Ungwan Sarki community.

Tinubu, who was in Kaduna for the wedding of former Zamfara Governor Abdul’Aziz Yari’s son, described the intervention as a testimony to unity and Corporate Social Responsibility across Nigeria’s regions.

Before the intervention, the mosque relied on a small ablution facility that was grossly inadequate for the large number of worshippers, particularly during the Friday Juma’at prayers.

The new ablution centre can now serve up to 300 worshippers at the same time, while the overhead tank guarantees uninterrupted water supply for both the mosque and the host community.

Tantita Security Services, chaired by ex-militant leader Chief Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, is primarily engaged in oil pipeline surveillance in the Niger Delta.

Explaining the scope of the project, the site engineer, Abba Mubashir, said the works were executed to the highest standards.

Mubashir also disclosed that the firm extended similar gestures to other parts of Kaduna.

“There is an Islamic school built in Ambushia and a Christian school in Sabo, both sponsored by Tantita, as part of its corporate social responsibility,” he added.

The Chief Ladan of Sultan Bello Mosque, Malam Abdurrahman Abdulhamid, expressed gratitude to the company for reviving and completing the stalled project.

He prayed for God’s blessings upon Tantita and urged the company to sustain its community-driven initiatives.

Residents of Ungwan Sarki described the project as timely, noting that it had eased the pressure of water shortage in the neighbourhood.
