They include , 180 pieces of wax prints, 16 television sets, 10 refrigerators, 10 fans, eight hair dryers, six sewing machines and two industrial machines .

This, he said, was to show his appreciation to motivate hardworking mothers to work harder to enhance their personal and professional fortunes.

Presenting the items, the MP said that development was not only about initiating  projects in the community but providing opportunities  to enable the people develop their talents for the  benefit of their families and the community.

Dr Mustapha said the donation was financed from his personal resources and contributions from friends  who were committed to the development of women in the constituency..

The MP further appealed to the women who did not  benefit from the scheme to be patient adding that  plans were underway to support other underprivileged women in the constituency.

In another development,  Dr Mustapha Ahmed  called on parents in the Muslim community to invest more in their children's education.

He said that the future development of the community depended on how parents invested in their children's education .

Dr Mustapha made this call at the installation of imam (spiritual leader) for the Chamber community in the Greater Accra Region.

He urged spiritual leaders to preach the relevance of education and invoke the spirit of unity in the people in the community.

The new Imam of the Chamber community, Yusha T. Kuta, cautioned the youth  to be selfless and sacrifice their well-being for the development of others.

He said, “Majority of our Muslims leaders have failed to leave up to expectation with just a few individuals excelling in their leadership roles.”
