He assured the Government of the continued support of the Pastor and the entire congregation of the Celestial Church of Christ Worldwide and seized the opportunity to inform the Governor of Ogun State of the church’s plan to commence the construction of a world-class university in the Celestial City, Imeko, Ogun State before the year runs out. He prayed for the government’s intervention for the re-construction and possible dualization of the Abeokuta-Imeko Road.

She further assured that she would convey the prayers of the church concerning the proposed Celestial International University, Imeko, Ogun State, and the re-construction of the Abeokuta-Imeko Road to the Governor of Ogun State.
