Eko Hot News reports that the commissioning took place during a special Jumat service held within the LSPC premises.
The Governor was represented by his Special Adviser on Political, Legislative and Civic Engagement, Dr Afolabi Abiodun Muhammed Tajudeen, who performed the ceremony on his behalf.
The event attracted senior government officials, religious leaders, LSPC management and staff, as well as Muslim worshippers from surrounding communities.
Dr Tajudeen conveyed the Governor’s message, describing the mosque as a symbol of faith, unity, and institutional heritage.
He commended the LSPC management for preserving history while strengthening moral and ethical values within the workplace.

In his welcome address, the General Manager of LSPC, Hon. (Dr.) Kolawole Peregrino expressed appreciation to Governor Sanwo-Olu for his continued support.
