By Iyojo Ameh

No fewer than Two Hundred and Fifty Pupils of the Local Education Authority Primary School, Iddo Sarki along Airport Road, Abuja have received Free Instructional Materials, School bags and uniforms as well as Financial support from the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG Northern Region.

At the Presentation, the Intercontinental Controller for the Northern Region, Pastor Joseph Adeyokunnu said the gesture was to assist children of the less privileged to acquire western education.

Pastor Adeyokunnu said the current economic situation had made some children drop out from schools, which he said portends danger for the development of the country.

According to him, most of the students who dropped out will eventually become security threats to the society if they lack adequate care and support.

He therefore called on the government at all levels to focus attention on the development of education for a better future for the country .

Pastor Adeyokunnu also used the occasion to admonish both the pupils and teachers of the school to live righteous lives and be good ambassadors of their communities.

Also, the co-ordinator of the annual program, Pastor Temitope Oyeleye said the Northern Region of the RCCG would continue to give hope to the downtrodden especially in the rural areas.

Pastor Oyeleye explained that the group in the RCCG had visited orphanages, schools of people living with disabilities and hospitals to put smiles on the faces of the poor in the society.

According to her, the Church will extend its corporate social responsibility to communities irrespective of religious and ethnic backgrounds.

Pastor Oyeleye stressed the need for other religious and charitable organizations to always visit and uplift lives of rural dwellers.

Some of the pupils Glory Yakubu, Faith Zamani, and John Gideon expressed gratitude to the Redeemed Christian Church of God for the kind gesture.
