THE  Special Adviser to the President on Political and Other Matters, Alhaji Ibrahim Masari, has unveiled an artificial intelligence (AI) powered research centre in honour of the late Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji, mother of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The announcement was made during the annual prayer gathering for the deceased at the National Mosque, Abuja, which drew top government officials, including Vice President Kashim Shettima, several state governors, and over 1,350 Islamic scholars who poured encomiums on the late matriarch.
The digital institution, named the Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji International Islamic Learning and Research Centre, is designed to advance Islamic scholarship globally through science, technology, and innovation.

Masari disclosed that he would solely fund the world-class project without external support, adding to his previous philanthropic projects, which include 250 boreholes across Northern Nigeria.

Reacting to the development, IT professional and politician, Engr. Abdullahi Ramat, observed that Masari’s selflessness and commitment to preserving Mogaji’s legacy reflect a rare level of devotion in public service.

In a statement, Ramat stated that “Beyond politics and official responsibility, Masari’s actions have demonstrated a deep personal commitment to President Tinubu and his family.

“His dedication to the success of the Tinubu administration transcends political affiliation; it is rooted in conviction, admiration and a sincere belief in the President’s vision for Nigeria.”

Attendees described the AI-powered initiative as unprecedented for a presidential aide. Ramat added that as data-driven solutions emerge, the centre will stand as a testament to the enduring power of charity, noting that “prayers were also offered for continued good health, wisdom, and strength for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as he leads Nigeria towards a future of greater peace.”
