Ex-Finance Minister defends mosque project, highlights investments in education
Dr Mohammed Amin Adam, former Finance Minister and Member of Parliament for Karaga, defended the construction of the Masjid Al-Noor "The Light" mosque in Tamale, stating it complements his long-standing investments in education and community development across the Northern Region. He responded to criticism that resources for the mosque could have been invested in factories or job-creating projects, saying his record demonstrates a sustained commitment to improving educational infrastructure and supporting young people. In an interview with Blakk Rasta, he said, "I hold education as a major pillar of development. That is why my focus has not been limited to Karaga but has extended across the Northern Region."
Dr Amin Adam listed several education projects he has supported, including a one-storey 12-unit classroom block at the Northern School of Business (NOBISCO) and a similar classroom block at Tamale Senior High School (TAMASCO). He also cited the Karaga STEM College of Education, which has stalled due to funding constraints, as well as classroom and dormitory projects at Markaziyya Islamic School in Zogbeli and Ambariyya Islamic Institute in Tamale. He mobilised private funding to construct a one-storey classroom block for Pishigu Senior High School and establish the Nyong Technical Institute, stating, "Both Pishigu Senior High School and Nyong Technical Institute were not built by the government. I sourced financial support from companies to build them."
