Crescent Bearers' Mosque, Abijo

“The Crescent Bearers, Lagos was founded on November 11, 1939. The primary objective of the Crescent Bearers' founding fathers was to promote the acquisition of western education by Muslims for their collective improvement and upward social mobility in a colonial society, in which Muslims not only experienced marginalization but were also typically held up to ridicule and suffered social opprobrium for their religious beliefs and cultural attachments.” - Adele Jinadu (2019) for the Guardian Nigeria.

The Crescent Bearers Mosque, Abijo was designed by Patrick Waheed Design Consulting
