Adeboye, Visits President Buhari In Aso Rock

General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, on Monday visited President Muhammadu Buhari at the State House in Abuja.

Buhari’s Personal Assistant on New Media, Bashir Ahmad, disclosed this via his verified Twitter handle.

“President ‪@MBuhari‬ receives in audience General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (‪@rccghq‬), ‪@PastorEAAdeboye‬, at the State House, Abuja,” he said.


The meeting reportedly took place in the President’s official office.

Adeboye had earlier in the year joined other leaders in the country to condemn rising insecurity across Nigeria.

He led members of his church on a protest march in Lagos to register his displeasure at the situation.

Earlier this month, Christian leaders slammed President Buhari’s government for introducing the Company and Allied Matters Act, which empowers a federal ministry and Corporate Affairs Commission to regulate the affairs of churches.

The topic is still a burning subject and it is believed that it could form part of Adeboye and Buhari’s discussion during the cleric’s visit to the Presidential Villa on Monday. (SaharaReporters)

NGO Powers School With Solar In FCT

The Global initiative for Food Security and Ecosystem Preservation (GIFSEP), an NGO, says it has provided solar panels to power Government Secondary School (GSS), Yaba in Abaji Area Council in FCT.

GIFSEP Executive Director, Mr David Micheal, who disclosed this in a statement in Abuja on Monday, said that the move was triggered by absence of electricity in Yaba community since 2016.

Michael said that GIFSEP executed the project with the support of the Global Environmental Facility Small Grant Programme (GEF-SGP).


He said that when his NGO visited the school to establish an Environmental Club in 2018, it discovered that the boarding school had no electricity supply.

“We had earlier powered a block of classroom with solar so that the students can read and do their assignments at night instead of using candles and lanterns.

“Now we have powered the boys and girls hostels with solar.

“GIFSEP had in 2018 powered a block of classroom with solar to enable the students to study at night and now extended power to the hostels so that the students don’t live in the dark any longer,” Michael said.

According to him, the students who are currently writing WAEC exams have expressed joy at the development.

“The solar for schools initiative is part of capacity building of students to address climate change in FCT schools,” he said. (NAN)
