Zylofon’s Nana Appiah Mensah Gives GHC1million to Chief Imam’s Educational Fund
Under the auspices of NAM Mission, the Chief Executive Officer of
Menzgold and Zylofon Group of Companies, Nana Appiah Mensah, has donated
One Million Ghana Cedis as seed money for the setting up of the ‘Sheikh
Nuhu Osmanu Sharubutu Educational Fund’ to support the education of
bright but needy Muslims in Ghana.
The ‘Sheikh Nuhu Sharubutu Educational Fund, which is an initiative
of NAM Mission, calculated to boost education among needy Muslims in the
country, was announced on when the Chief Imam paid a working visit to
the offices of the Mission.
The ground breaking initiative was revealed by Mr. Nana Appiah Mensah
when the Chief Imam paid a courtesy call on the business magnate to
thank him for the massive support he gave various needy Muslims
communities during the Holy Month of Ramadan.
Accompanied by some members of the leadership of Muslims in Ghana
including Chief Abdul Kaadir Taahiru – the leader of the Council of
Muslim Chiefs – the Chief Imam was visiting the business mogul to
express gratitude over Mr. Mensah’s philanthropic gesture towards
destitute Muslims during the Ramadan.
Citing the time he has spent living among Muslims in the country, Mr.
Mensah revealed that the lack of financial support hampered the
progress of several needy but intelligent Muslims he grew up with.
He said as part of his support to Muslims in Ghana to celebrate the
Eidul-Fitr, he is setting up of the Sheikh Nuhu Osman Sharubutu
Educational Fund which will have a lasting impact on the needy to be
fully managed by the Chief Imam.
Mr. Mensah said, with support of this nature under the auspices of
the Chief Imam, several needy Muslims can grow to help in the
development not only for their families but also of the country.
“I grew up in Muslim neighborhoods like Sukula and Kasoa and to see
that some of my Muslim friends could not go far with their education
because of financial problems we thought an initiative like this could
be our small support to help some of our needy brothers in the Muslim
and Zongo communities,” said Nana Appiah Mensah.
“I have no doubt in my mind that a lot of these young, intelligent
but needy Muslims will not only help to uplift their families but will
also contribute to the development of Ghana in future.
“We all know the role the His Eminence the National Chief Imam has
played in Ghana over the years in fostering peace and unity and with an
initiative like this in education, I am sure is a step in the right
direction.
“I want to thank the National Chief Imam and his Council of Muslim
Chiefs for the prayers for the country over the years and during the
recent Holy Month of Ramadan for praying for peace in the Ghana.”
The National Chief Imam praised Nana Appiah Mensah for his good works
in the country insisting that Allah will surely reward him.
“Allah has said in the Holy Quran that the recompense for people who
do good in society is good returns so I am in no doubt that Allah will
reward him for the attention he pays to the needy,” the Chief Imam said.
“We know what Mr. Nana Appiah Mensah has been doing for humanity and
an initiative like this can also enhance his standing among the people
favoured by Allah.
