President General of the ACIC, Hakeem Khan, gave a detailed presentation of the projects designed to better serve the needs of its membership and the hundreds of persons who use the facilities each year.
The Complex, which is also the centre of Sunni Islam in Guyana, is the venue for a number of national Muslim programmes in Guyana and headquarters of several organizations and institutions both local and overseas. He dedicated it to the past leadership of the complex on whose hard work, dedication and sacrifices the current administration continues to build on.
“The facility is fully air-conditioned and carries a television monitor to allow the sisters to see the Imam/Khateeb at Juma Prayers and other activities held in the Masjid itself. The 80% glass facility will also allow the annex to be used as part of the Lecture Hall for programmes and sisters can be in the annex and able to view any programme in the lecture hall, through the one-way glass or on the TV monitor.”
Work commenced in February of this year and is estimated to have a final cost factor to ACIC of about $4.3M.
