The governor’s wife, however, enjoined members to obey the rules of hygiene to prevent the spread of Coronavirus, which is currently ravaging countries of the world.

According to him, the church currently has no parking space, saying such situation had occasioned vehicles of members parked outside the premises being vandalised during vigils, adding that the children also needed a space for spiritual meetings.

“We want to do what Nehemiah did in the history of Jews. When the building is acquired, surveyors, architects and engineers will reconfigure the space so that we can have a parking lodge,” Opadokun said.

The church minister, Rev. Jide Adetutu, in his remark, urged members and well-meaning Nigerians to partner with God with their resources for church development.

A church elder, Deacon Oyelakin Arogundade, in his welcome address, reminded the congregation of the theme for the year, ‘Running The Race,’ urging them to run a good race on earth to win the ultimate crown.

The cleric assured that the church, which is affiliated with the Baptist Convention, would remain devoted to evangelism.
