As part of its commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), City of David Parish, Abuja, has awarded scholarships to 20 Nigerian students under its ongoing education support initiative.
The scheme, which began about three years ago, is designed to promote education and empower young Nigerians both within the church and across the country.
According to a statement released on Monday, the church noted that the programme has become “a beacon of hope for aspiring Nigerian youths, fostering education as a cornerstone of personal and national transformation.”
Last year, almost 100 students benefited from the scholarship. This year, the church sustained the initiative by extending support to nearly 20 students, reinforcing its commitment to long-term empowerment.
The statement read in part:
“In line with the Christian Social Responsibility (CSR) mandate of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, championed by the General Overseer, Pastor E.A. Adeboye, the RCCG City of David Parish, Abuja, pastored by Pastor Agbolade Okenla, has continued to make remarkable progress in its scholarship initiative aimed at supporting education and empowering Nigerian youths within the church and across the nation.
“This initiative has been fueled by the vision and dedication of the Resident Pastor, Pastor Agbolade Okenla, who has consistently emphasized the importance of investing in young people as a way of securing Nigeria’s future. His passion and commitment to the education of Nigerian youths have ensured the programme remains a priority for the church.”
The church added that by easing the financial burden of education, the initiative is opening doors of opportunity for beneficiaries to pursue their dreams and contribute positively to society.
The statement concluded:
“This scholarship programme stands as a testament to the church’s belief in education as a powerful tool for transformation, while also reflecting the wider RCCG vision of service, compassion, and national development.”
