The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Living Seed Church (The Bridge), Youth Province 1 in collaboration with Dare Adeboye Foundation renovated and restored a New Library for Sogunle Primary School, Ikeja, Lagos State.
The Chairman of Ikeja Local Government, Honourable Mojeed Alabi Balogun, represented by the Supervisor for Education Pelumi Ologonje was grateful for the project and highlighted the role of individual support for the betterment of the community.
According to Pastor Leke Adeboye, The Principal Executive Assistant to the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, The APICP CSR Youth Province 1, and Lead Pastor of Living Seed Church (The Bridge), he emphasized the importance of education, “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’ve equipped them for life. You can take everything I have away from me, but you cannot take away what is inside my head,” he said.
The headmistress of the school, Mrs. Edith Ehirim was incredibly grateful for this intervention and commended the leadership of the church for the choice of lifesaving projects that will add more value to the learning of the children.
The new library features books, furniture, and computers. The computers were a notable addition because Sogunle primary school has never had such, which led the students 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.
This was the second CSR project carried out by RCCG, The Bridge following a hospital drive for new mothers in LASUTH in the month of March where hospital bills were paid and mother-child care packages were received.
