Sanwo-Olu lauds rccg over donation of classroom blocks, rehabilitation of healthcare centre

LAGOS State governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has commended the Christian Social Responsibility (CSR) units of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), under the leadership of the General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, over its support to the government in the area of education and healthcare.

Speaking during the inauguration of the 12-classroom blocks and the resettlement healthcare centre, Sanwo-Olu said: “My administration is not going to walk away from its responsibility of catering for the educational needs of every child that is of school age.

“We will give our children the opportunity to attend quality schools that will not be too far away from them. I gave a directive to the Commissioner of Education that all school owned by the state government be equipped with well-trained teachers that will help us to deliver quality training to our children in line with development agenda of my administration.”

Pastor Kayode Pitan, who doubles as the pastor in charge of RCCG Tabernacle of David and Assistant Pastor in Charge of Region, noted that the decision to build the school was in response to the lack of public school in the area, which made children in the community to move for some kilometres to attend school.

This, he said, was in line with the mandate of the RCCG General Overseer to positively impact its communities and society at large.

Speaking on behalf of Adeboye, his Special Assistant on CSR, Pastor Idowu Iluyomade, said: “These CSR investments stem from their continued resolve to be of service to humanity in general and their host communities in particular. It is also driven by the mantra at the RCCG to touch people’s lives.”
