The President of the Believers Love World Incorporated also known as Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, has donated the sum of one billion naira to Benson Idahosa University to upgrade their faculty of engineering.
According to Channels Television Pastor
Oyakhilome made this donation on Friday at a special convocation
ceremony of the Benson Idahosa University where he was conferred the
award of Doctor of Divinity.
Oyakhilome, who announced the donation during his speech, also explained the rationale behind his donation.
According
to him, the late Archbishop Idahosa, having greatly influenced his life
and ministry, it was only natural for him to feel the need to do same
for the youths.
“The Archbishop Benson Idahosa was one of the most remarkable and
inspiring personalities of the 20th Century. It is a fact of life that
those who did not have the privilege to meet him are blessed to meet him
through many of us.
“The impact of the archbishop on me as an
individual is unquantifiable. Many time, people would ask me why I talk
about the late Archbishop Benson Idahosa more than anybody.
“It
will surprise you to know that as a young man, I was working with the
archbishop in the mail room in the Church of God Mission in Benin City.
“I
was blessed to have worked with the late Archbishop Benson Idahosa.
While working with him, I had the blessing and benefit of seeing the
archbishop pass by my table everyday to his office,” Oyakhilome said.
He
then called on well-meaning Nigerians who have the resources to support
institutions of learning in the country as they are organizations
committed to the development of the best potentials in Nigeria.
