Ms Fathia Abdul-Aziz, a Staffer at the Office of the President has commissioned a Mosque at Tolon Gburumani, suburb of the Tolon district in the northern region in fulfillment of a promise made the Almighty God in the lead up to the 2020 general elections.

It is one of four she promised to construct in some four selected less privilege communities in the region.
In an interview with THE CUSTODIAN, Hajia Fathia said, “ Prior to the 2020 general elections, I made a promise to the Almighty Allah that if by his grace, my father, my boss, my mentor, His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo was voted for his second tenure in office, I will construct Mosques in four less privilege communities”.
She continued, “By the grace of God, we have commissioned one of the four projects”.
Hajia Fathia Abdul-Aziz further disclosed two communities in the Savelugu municipality have been earmarked to benefit from the intervention.
