YABATECH Students

 The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has continued to extend his milk of human kindness to locations where needed.

The latest is his donation of N2 Million to disabled students in the Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH).

The man of God made the announcement when recently he charred an event tagged “Voices of Resilience”, aimed at celebrating students with disabilities in the institution.

Speaking, Primate Ayodele expressed his love for the disabled students, while encouraging Nigerian politicians to emulate characters that make society better.

He frowned at the treatment the government has given people in the condition, while noting that politicians prefer to be at events that showcase their authority.

“This is one of the wonderful programmes I have ever seen, for the students to organise this, it’s a challenge to the government, especially in Lagos state, where I believe there should be a representation. If its not a social engagement like a wedding, they won’t be there.

“Our students are currently showing good examples, and this means they will grow to become great leaders. It’s quite unfortunate that we don’t see our political leaders at events like this. I am not here to criticize but to congratulate the organisers for this great event.”

The spiritual leader also expressed displeasure at clerics who don’t engage in humanitarian activities as Jesus Christ epitomized during his sojourn on earth.

“We should have men of God in this gathering, and when you go to the bible, these are friends of Jesus Christ. This is another church entirely. We are not talking about miracles here; we are talking about life-changing events here. From my end here, to support this programme, I will give the sum of N2 Million.”

He subsequently announced the donation of N2 Million to support the disabled students.

In a response, the Dean of Students’ Affairs of the college,  Mr Olalekan Shakirudeen, appreciated the man of God for his support, whom he said he had been hearing about for a long time but was meeting physically the first time.

The Student Union Government (SUG) president, Comrade Omogunle Monday, also appreciated Primate Ayodele’s benevolence, explaining that he surprised them even by attending the event and still making such a donation.

He also revealed that earlier on at his church, Primate Ayodele had supported students from the institution with a sum of N50,000 each, which amounted to over N2 million during a Sunday programme.

“Primate Ayodele has been very wonderful. Before this, we were invited to a symposium at his church, where about 45 of our students were given N45,000 each, amounting to over N2 million. Doing this now is part of his generous engagement, and we are happy he is focusing on the students’ society to leverage his humanitarian services.”
