As Nigeria marks her 64th Independence anniversary, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has emphasised the need to maintain national unity and indivisibility of the Nation.

Represented by the Special Assistant to the General Overseer on Administration, Pastor Oladele Balogun, the cleric spoke yesterday in Lagos during a press conference titled, “Special Independence Day Prayer and Celebration Service,” heralding the Independence Day Service on October 6, 2024.

The service is scheduled to hold on October 6, 2024.

Adeboye said, “As we prepare to celebrate our independence, we must reaffirm our commitment to national unity and cohesion. We need to consciously recognise that our diversity is our strength, and our differences are what make us unique. We must therefore continue to work together, hand in hand, to build a brighter future for all.”

“No matter how innovative a recovery plan may be, be it locally conceived or globally prescribed, only God, the Almighty, can bring about transformational turn around.

“The state of the nation as well as prevailing global economy is quite challenging but with God all things are possible, hence, our confidence that through divine wisdom, God is able to turn around the seemingly hopeless situation into a glorious phenomenon.”
