As part of its social responsibility and community relations, the Redeem Christian Church of God (RCCG) has commissioned two water projects in two communities in Bauchi state capital.
While commissioning the two projects sited in Wuntin Dada and Kafin Tafawa, under the ‘Water for Life’ (W4L) project of the African Mission, Pastor Jimi Ajibade who is a Special Assistant to the General Overseer of the RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye said the gesture was meant to serve humanity and promote harmonious coexistence between faithfuls of different religions.
He stressed that God created human beings equally and therefore want them to coexist together.
Jimi Ajibade who is the Pastor in charge of the North-East region of the Church said that there is no need for acrimonious relationship between adherents of the two widely accepted religions of Christianity and Islam.
“God is love as it is recorded in the Bible and so he is expecting us to show love to each other not in words alone but in actions and deeds. This is a reason the Church to embarks on social responsibility and community relations.
“RCCG is ensuring that the communities surrounding it got a little of its love through different ways including education, health and water provisions”. He said.
Ajibade then advised the beneficiaries of the water projects to see them as their own and maintain them for effective and efficient use because according to him the projects belong them.
In his response on behalf of the Wuntin Dada community, Chairmen of the Elders Committee, A. D Mustapha commended the church for the gesture.
He assured RCCG that the community which is the direct beneficiary of the water project will ensure that it is protected.
At Kafin Tafawa, the Councilor representing Birshi Ward in Bauchi LGA, Rilwanu Sabo commended the RCCG for embarking on the humanitarian projects.
