THE Redeemed Christian Church of God RCCG Youth Province 1, Living Seed Church (The Bridge) in collaboration with Dare Adeboye Foundation has recently commissioned a new library at Sogunle Primary School, Ikeja, Lagos.
The event brought together clerics and members of the RCCG and officials of the Ikeja Local Government Executive Council.
The new library features books, furniture, and computers. The computers were a notable addition because the pupils previously had to visit another school for every computer period. In addition to the digitized library, the church also renovated the toilets and restored an abandoned classroom
Speaking at the event, The Chairman of Ikeja Local Government, Honourable Mojeed Alabi Balogun represented by the Supervisor for Education, Honorable Pelumi Ologonje was delighted to commission the project.
He noted that such projects as well as individual support were key to the enhancement of society.
In his speech, Lead Pastor of RCCG, The Bridge, and Assistant Pastor In Charge of Corporate Social Responsibility, RCCG Youth Province 1, Pastor Leke Adeboye, emphasized the importance of education.
According to him, “education is the most important thing. Even Jesus came to educate the 12 disciples so that they can educate the rest of the world. When you educate a child, you have equipped them for life. You can take everything I have away from me, but you cannot take away what is inside my head.”
The headmistress of the school, Mrs Edith Ehirim expressed profound joy and gratitude for the intervention by the church.
