The Ambariya Muslim community has received a major boost in its educational development efforts following the operationalization of the Ambariya Islamic Education Unit.

The development was marked on Thursday afternoon when Dr. Yussif Sulemana, acting on behalf of the Minister for Education and Member of Parliament for Tamale South, Hon. Haruna Iddrisu, presented administrative appointment letters and other essential documents to Sheikh Saeed Abubakari, Leader of the Ambariya Muslim Sect.

The presentation fulfills a commitment made by Hon. Haruna Iddrisu to the Ambariya Muslim community during Eid prayers held on Wednesday, demonstrating the Minister’s commitment to expanding educational opportunities and strengthening educational administration within the community.

Speaking during the presentation, stakeholders described the establishment of the Education Unit as a significant milestone that will enhance access to quality education, improve educational management and create greater opportunities for young people within the Ambariya community.

The operationalization of the unit is expected to provide a structured framework for educational administration, helping schools within the community to improve coordination, supervision and academic performance.
Beyond its administrative functions, the initiative is seen as a recognition of the Ambariya community’s longstanding contribution to education and social development.

It also reflects broader efforts to promote inclusion, empowerment and equitable access to educational resources.
Community leaders expressed appreciation to Hon. Haruna Iddrisu and the Ministry of Education for honoring the pledge and supporting the advancement of Islamic education in the area.

The occasion was described as more than the presentation of official documents; it was a significant investment in the future of thousands of young people whose educational aspirations stand to benefit from the establishment of the Ambariya Islamic Education Unit.
