Makinde is expected to host the dignitaries, while the Sultan will chair the epoch-making event.
The governor had promised to build a new Adogba Central Mosque, as the former structure had to give way to the development of Iwo Road Interchange.
Besides, he said that if his administration’s plan to uplift Ibadan, the state capital, would materialise, the former structure would have to give way, adding that he would construct another worship centre from his personal resources.
The governor delivered on the promise with the construction of the new mosque, an Arabic School, an Islamic Model School, a research centre, a library and an event hall all of which will be inaugurated today.
