The initial Saudi interest in constructing the mosque soon dissipated giving way to some Turkish organisations taking up the responsibility of building it.

The beautiful edifice was constructed by three Turkish non-governmental organisations.

As a mosque complex, the facility has a school, an office for the Imam among others.

The mosque represents the quintessential Turkish architecture, one of the most outstanding in West Africa.
