In an extraordinary demonstration of religious harmony, Muslims and Christians in the Itesi community of Abeokuta, Ogun State, have jointly launched a N150 million fundraising campaign to remodel and expand the 80-year-old Itesi Central Mosque.
The initiative, unveiled during a Turbaning Ceremony and Fundraising Appeal held on Saturday at St. Peter Claver’s Convent School, drew faith leaders, government officials, traditional representatives and community development advocates — all united behind a project hailed as a model of peaceful coexistence.
