CHILDREN’S DAY: SANWO-OLU REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO BETTER FUTURE FOR CHILDREN

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has reaffirmed the commitment of Lagos State to providing all necessary tools and institutional support for the attainment of a better future for children in the State.
Sanwo-Olu spoke during the Children’s Day celebration at the Polic College Parade Ground in Ikeja, promising that his administration will continue to invest in education while maintaining and initiating various programmes to develop and boost human capital within the school environment.
Revealing that his administration has addressed infrastructure deficit in schools and introduced technology with the supply of e-Leaning devices to enhance teaching, Sanwo-Olu added that the capacity of teachers has been upscaled to further improve the quality of education among other key innovations.
The Governor, who was represented at the event by the Secretary to the State Government, Mrs. Folasade Sherifat Jaji, noted that the theme for the Year 2022 celebration: “A Better Future for Every Child”, highlights the principles of the convention on the rights of the child that all children, irrespective of their status and present global situation, should enjoy their rights to survival and development for a better future.
He said, “Children are falling victim of many social vices like child abuse, rape, drug abuse, hard labour, violence and are denied the opportunity to enjoy a healthy life, parents’ love and commitment. Therefore, this day gives us an opportunity to reflect and renew our commitment to building a society that will guarantee them a better future”.
The Governor charged parents and guardians to protect their wards and direct them towards a promising future, emphasising that the State will continue to unfold initiatives and intervention programmes that promote the Child Rights’ Protection Law.
Advising the children to strive for the best and take their academics very serious, Sanwo-Olu maintained that education remains a veritable tool for greatness and, therefore, gave an assurance that his administration will maximise investment in the sector by providing modern technology to enhance learning, creativity and critical thinking.
He highlighted the various innovations and investments by his administration ranging from commissioning over 1,449 projects in 1,036 schools across all 20 LGAs and 37 LCDAs, including construction, renovation, and rehabilitation of dilapidated public schools and supply of composite units of furniture, among others.
“Through the Eko Excel Programme, we have trained over 15,000 primary school teachers and empowered over 450,000 pupils with personal e-Learning Devices.
The State Government has also intensified efforts through the Project Zero Programme to curb the rate of out-of-school children and brought back those who had left”, Sanwo-Olu said.
While informing that his administration has established 12 comprehensive programmes for Secondary School Students across the State in the pilot phase, the Governor noted that the model provides an opportunity for students to learn a range of vocational skills alongside the normal school curriculum.
Sanwo-Olu disclosed the intention of the State Government to increase the number of schools to 50 before the end of the year.
Earlier in her welcome remarks, the Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Folasade Adefisayo, appreciated the Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanw-Olu, who is also the team leader of the Greater Lagos vision, for his genuine interest in the education, welfare and comfort of every child in the State and for the approval to always celebrate the children through weeklong activities of various educative and entertaining programmes to impart knowledge.
“The entire education family of Lagos State thank you for your passion and investment in the future of all the children of Lagos State, irrespective of the circumstances of birth, especially by ensuring a level playing ground for all to nurture and grow their knowledge in pursuit of a better tomorrow”, she said.

1,000 Prayer Warriors Storm Ilorin for Tinubu, Nation’s Deliverance

In a dramatic show of faith and patriotism, over 1,000 fiery prayer warriors from across Nigeria will descend on Ilorin, Kwara State, this Saturday, lifting their voices in intense intercession for President Bola Tinubu’s success and Nigeria’s survival in the face of biting economic woes and mounting insecurity.
The spiritual siege, themed “Walking in Domini”, is the maiden convention of the Organisation of African Instituted Churches (OAIC), with its Kwara State Chairman, Evangelist Thomas Adeboye, vowing that “heaven will hear and respond to Nigeria’s cry.”
Aside from marathon prayers, the gathering will roll out free medical outreach to locals across Kwara’s LGAs, a gesture aimed at touching both body and soul.
Adeboye, lamenting Nigeria’s “troubling economic and security realities”, called for a nationwide prayer uprising, insisting that Tinubu has shown the will to revive the nation but needs massive divine backing to succeed.
“Banditry, a collapsing economy, and political tension demand we seek God’s face like never before,” he declared. “We will storm heaven for wisdom for the President and governors to steer Nigeria to safety.”
The convention will also feature awards to distinguished personalities, soul-lifting worship, fiery sermons, and unity-driven lectures—all capped with thunderous prayers for Nigeria’s redemption.
Adeboye urged the President to ensure every policy has “a human face,” stressing that Nigerians must not only endure but also enjoy the fruits of governance.
With the OAIC promising to reaffirm believers’ authority in Christ and rally spiritual boldness in the face of national challenges, Ilorin is set to become the epicentre of a powerful spiritual warfare for Nigeria’s destiny.

Nigerian Anglicans Condemn Lesbian Archbishop of Wales, Deepening Global Anglican Rift

…Church leaders accuse Welsh counterparts of “spiritual decadence” and “abandonment of faith”
The Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) has issued a forceful condemnation of the election of Rt. Rev. Cherry Vann, an openly lesbian cleric, as the Archbishop of Wales. The move is the latest in a series of developments that have deepened divisions within the global Anglican Communion over sexuality and doctrine.
In a statement from Primate The Most Rev’d Henry Ndukuba, the church denounced the election as a “serious departure from biblical teaching” and a sign of “spiritual decadence” and “an outright abandonment of the faith once delivered to the saints.”
Archbishop Ndukuba warned that Bishop Vann’s elevation compromises the Anglican Church’s global mission and could obstruct evangelism. He compared the situation to the controversial tenure of Most Rev. Katherine Jefferts Schori, former Presiding Bishop of the U.S. Episcopal Church, who also faced intense criticism from conservative Anglicans for her progressive views.
The Primate accused Bishop Vann of being complicit in the “ongoing crisis” around same-sex issues, stating that the election is a “clear revelation that many who claim to be members of the body of Christ cannot endure sound doctrine” (2 Timothy 4:3–4).
The Church of Nigeria called on Anglicans worldwide to reject “rebels” and “apostates” and to instead support conservative bodies like the Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON).
“The Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion) condemns, unequivocally rejects, and will not recognize the election of Rt. Rev. Cherry Vann as Archbishop of Wales,” Ndukuba declared. He concluded with a solemn warning that without repentance, the Church in Wales risks losing “complete relevance” and its leaders will face judgment.

Anglican Church Urges Government To Prioritize Citizen Welfare

The Primate of the Church of Nigeria Anglican Communion, Most Reverend Henry Ndukuba, has called on political leaders to prioritize the welfare of citizens.
During a recent church service in Abuja, Ndukuba noted that many Nigerians are struggling with challenges brought on by the global economic downturn. He urged state and local governments to implement new initiatives to lessen the impact on their communities.
The Primate also stressed that the federal government must effectively monitor its programs to ensure that Nigerians fully benefit from the nation’s democratic gains. He argued that if the current administration can effectively tackle corruption, the country would significantly benefit from the economic policies of President Tinubu’s government.
Ndukuba concluded by asking the congregation to continue praying for those in authority, remain committed to national unity, and show love and support for the less privileged. He also tasked the newly inducted members of the Church Mothers’ Guild with aggressively spreading the gospel.
