“It is with utmost joy that I celebrate with my own spiritual head and missioner, Ansar-ud-Deen Society, Igbogbo Branch, Imam Lookman Abdul-Razak and all members of the Branch, on the occasion of the Golden Jubilee anniversary of their establishment and commissioning of their ultra – modern mosque”, he said in statement.
“The celebration is indeed very significant just as it is with the fifty years of anything. However, the steady growth of this society, which can be described as in leaps and bounds, is worth a grand reception. It is to the credit of the society that a lot has been achieved in the society without falling short of her immediate focus and goal”.
