Emotional Ahmed Musa Speaks on Naming Newly Constructed School After His Late Parents

Ahmed Musa says he learned that the only school he attended was about to be sold, so he decided to buy it.

The Nigerian international has completed a state-of-the-art educational facility and named it after his late parents Musa added that children from poor backgrounds in the community would now have the opportunity to learn in the same environment as rich children.

Musa, who attended Saint Peace Primary School while growing up in Jos, said he was informed that the building was about to be sold.

When I heard they wanted to sell it, I decided to buy it, take it down and do what you saw over there.” “I did that to ensure the poor also get to feel the kind of educational system the rich get. That is why I made sure it is the best school in my community and even the state.”

Musa lost his beloved mother, Sarah in 2019 and it is reported he was only seven years old when his father, Musa passed away. According to him, his late parents will be proud of him wherever they are.
