The new three-storey block
The Ambariya Islamic School in Tamale has officially taken delivery of a newly constructed three-storey classroom block, marking a significant milestone in the school’s development.
The fully furnished three-storey building will serve as the female block of the school.
The facility, adopted along the line and completed by businessman and philanthropist Alhaji Hussein Fuzak, was formally handed over to school authorities on Saturday, April 4, 2026, at a brief ceremony held on the school’s main campus.
The project, aimed at improving teaching and learning conditions, is expected to ease classroom congestion and provide a more conducive environment for both students and staff.
School authorities and community members present at the event expressed deep appreciation for the gesture, describing it as timely and transformative.
Speaking at the ceremony, the headteacher of the school, Doctuur Awal, highlighted the growing need for infrastructure to match increasing student enrollment, noting that the new building will significantly enhance academic activities.
The contribution by Alhaji Fuzak has been widely praised as a model of private sector involvement in educational development.
Chairman of the occasion and former MP for the then Choggu/Tishigu now Tamale North Constituency, Alhaji Mohammed Haroon a.k.a. Cambodia, called on other well-to-do individuals to emulate such initiatives, emphasising that the government’s efforts alone are not sufficient to meet the educational needs of rapidly growing communities.
Community leaders also noted that beyond its physical structure, the building represents hope and opportunity for future generations, reinforcing the importance of collective responsibility in nation-building.
Alhaji Fuzak expressed his excitement and also made a promise to provide a Yutong bus for students, a mini bus for Islamic evangelical services and an AstroTurf for the school.
The event ended with prayers and a renewed commitment from stakeholders to ensure the facility is properly maintained and utilised.
