The Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu 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 Tinubu.
The announcement was made during the annual prayer gathering held in memory of the late matriarch at the National Mosque in Abuja.
The event attracted prominent government officials, including Vice President Kashim Shettima, state governors, political leaders, and more than 1,300 Islamic scholars who paid tribute to Alhaja Mogaji’s legacy and contributions to society.
Named the Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji International Islamic Learning and Research Centre, the institution is designed to leverage artificial intelligence, science, and modern technology to advance Islamic scholarship, research, and knowledge dissemination on a global scale.
According to Masari, the project seeks to bridge faith, education, and innovation while creating opportunities for future generations of scholars and researchers.
Masari disclosed that the centre would be fully funded through his personal resources, stressing that no external funding would be required for its development.
He described the initiative as part of his commitment to preserving the legacy of the late Alhaja Mogaji, who was widely respected for her leadership, philanthropy, and influence in community development.
The presidential aide noted that the project complements his previous humanitarian interventions, including the construction of hundreds of boreholes across Northern Nigeria.
Reacting to the development, information technology professional and politician, Engr. Abdullahi Ramat, praised Masari’s dedication and selflessness.
He described the AI-powered centre as an innovative and visionary project that reflects a deep commitment to honouring the memory of the President’s mother while contributing to educational and technological advancement.
Stakeholders at the event described the initiative as a unique blend of tradition and innovation.
They expressed optimism that the centre would become a hub for research, digital learning, and intellectual development, while preserving the enduring legacy of Alhaja Abibatu Mogaji for future generations.
