He donated N1 million to support the development of a Mosque and support for ECWA Youth Fellowship in Moroa community.
” I want to commend you for organising this fellowship as it is good to come together to praise and worship the lord.
“Please take your education seriously as it is one of the best ways to excel in life,” he said.
He further urged the youths to obey their parents and the commandments of God for societal development.
“I am just coming from a programme, where I have donated N500,000 for Mosque development and I will also donate N500,000 to support your church activities.
“Please let’s live in peace, unity and embrace religious tolerance as we are all one in the eyes of God,” he said.
The speaker called on everyone in the state to continue to support Gov. Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa state to succeed.
Also speaking, Pastor David Baka, former Secretary, Teachers Service Commission (TSC) called on the people of the church to continue to pray for the speaker, governor and other leaders to succeed.
