As part of its corporate social responsibility functions, The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), House of Jubilation, Area 12 Headquarters, Zone 1 under Lagos Province 33, Ikorodu, recently commissioned street lights for some parts of the Ipotoba Community in Itamaga, Ikorodu, Lagos.

Commissioning the street lights, Pastor-In-Charge of the Province, Pastor Dele Jayeoba told members of the community that attended the commissioning ceremony that Jesus Christ is the Light of the world. And as Light, He shines for all to see and follow Him. He declared that “where the light of the world shines, darkness will disappear; sorrow will not be found; poverty will not live in the area…”

Similarly, he told the residents of the community that the House of Jubilation Area of the Church is representing Christ and has brought physical light to illuminate the area.

According to him, “this means that as the light shines to take away darkness in the area, so has Jesus Christ who is the real Light come to deliver any oppressed in the community.”  He therefore encouraged the people to embrace Christ so that their life will shine under the Light.

Pastor (Mrs.) Moradeun Jayeoba cut the tape to commission the light.

Pastor-In-Charge of the Area, Pastor Jide Aluko said that the street light project is part of the corporate social responsibility functions of the Church.

He recalled that the House of Jubilation Area Headquarters commissioned a water project last quarter of 2014, adding that parts of the roads in the area were also graded by the church.

He noted that the water project is currently the source of water supply to the immediate community around the Church situated at 2 Abike Shokunbi Street, Itamaga, Ikorodu.

In appreciation of the gesture, the Ipotoba Community Development Association Itamaga, Ikorodu, in a letter signed by Ajose Akintan on behalf of the LCDA, thanked “all the members of the Church for the provision of street lights to certain parts of the community and prayed that the church will continue to grow and will remain untiring in its giving.”
