Nigeria – Source: Leadership
The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has constructed a borehole for Rugan Jira Doka, an agrarian community in Bauchi local government.
LEADERSHIP learned that the Rugan Jira Doka which brings together people belonging to different faiths and ethnic nationalities has been without a source of clean water for domestic use.
The overseer of RCCG Northeast, Pastor Julius Olalekan, disclosed this in an exclusive interview with LEADERSHIP in Bauchi.
He said the borehole which is part of the Christian Social Responsibilities of the church, is dedicated to the entire people of the area to alleviate their sufferings in search of potable water.
Pastor Olalekan said the RCCG in the country, is passionate about the plights of the people, especially at the rural areas, by providing them with basic social amenities to improve their livelihood.
He enjoined the community leaders to protect the borehole from vandalisation, for the benefit of the people in the area.
The cleric assured that the RCCG will continue to extend its community services across all the 20 local government areas of the state, and stressed the need for Christians to be law-abiding citizens and be at peace with the host communities, for the development of the nation.
A resident of the area, Mr Lawi Simon, said RCCG provided the community with the borehole at the right time when the people are in dire need of potable water. He, however, promised to ensure effective utilisation of the borehole for the benefit of the community.
