Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has commended the General Overseer
of Salvation Ministries, Pastor David Ibiyeomie for his contributions
to the development of the state.
Speaking
after inspecting ongoing construction of Salvation Ministries
Headquarters and Permanent Site of her secondary school at
Igwuruta on Wednesday, Governor Wike said giving back to
society is vital to the empowerment of the less privileged.
The
governor who was guided on the project inspection by the General
Overseer of Salvation Ministries, Pastor David Ibiyeomie, urged other
clerics to emulate him.
He
said: "If you don't come in here, you will think it is just a
church being built. But inside is something else.
"Look
at the school. It is a foundation for moral upbringing. See the
facilites. Why would the children not be given the best.
"I
want to encourage others to emulate what Pastor David Ibiyeomie is
doing to contribute to the development of the state. It is not
just being a pastor. We have gone beyond that".
Governor
Wike said by teaching the word of God and contributing to the
training of future leaders, the cleric is setting the stage for
greater development.
He
said the magnitude of the project is such that even a
State Government will find it difficult to execute.
"I
commend him and I pray God in his infinite mercy will give him the
capacity to complete the project.
"This
is for the state. It is not for him. This school can compete
with any school abroad ", he said.
He
also commended the Salvation Ministries for the creation through the
execution of the project.
In
his remarks, General Overseer of Salvation Ministries, Pastor David
Ibiyeomie said that he was inspired by God to embark on the project .
He
added that a five star hotel will be constructed within the
premises to accomodate people from outside the state.
