Let's Share Some History
During the 1820's, the first Ilorin Central Mosque was built under the direction of Sheik Imam Muhammad Munab’bau at Agbarere Area of Ilorin.
Because of the rising population of Ilorin, the 9th Emir of Ilorin , Emir Alhaji Zulkarnaini Gambari decided to build a new central mosque which was officially opened in 1981.
