On Friday, Gombe State Governor Muhammadu Yahaya revealed that Nigeria has been sustained by prayers from men of God such as the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, and others.

Yahaya, who welcomed the cleric during a courtesy visit, praised Adeboye for accepting the directive to add Gombe among the states to be visited and urged that such prayers be intensified.

Adeboye is in the state as part of his ‘light up eight city crusade’ outreach drive, which was organized by the Christian community to commemorate his 80th birthday.

Yahaya who was represented by his Deputy, Dr. Manassah Jatau, expressed gratitude to the general overseer for yielding to the pleadings of the organizers and for complying with the directive of God to visit Gombe.

He said, “with the rate at which Nigeria is filled with misfortunes of insecurity, economic hardships, one can only believe that it is the prayers of the people like Pastor Adeboye that are sustaining the nation.”

While urging Adeboye to enjoy the peace of Gombe, he added that the people of the state are peaceful, and accommodating. He however said that “prayers can never be enough, we solicit for more prayers towards sustainable peace, unity, and progress.”

Speaking earlier, Adeboye informed his host that he was in Gombe to honor his spiritual children who organized an event titled ” light up Nigeria” to mark his 80th birthday.

He revealed that it was never part of his plan to visit places during the birthday ceremony but because it was an instruction from God which he has no option but to come.

He narrated the story of how he started and became the general overseer in 1981 when he was an acting HOD in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Ilorin.

The clergyman said that he was called upon to head the church in spite of the fact that his salary was much more than the entire income of the church.

Adeboye further explained that God gave him a message that he should leave his job, promising to be with him wherever he goes.

“I rejoice with you people of Gombe that God is visiting Gombe today. His coming is a sign that all forces of darkness shall vanish in the State and entire Africa,” he said.

The newly appointed Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, has announced the removal of the 18-year age limit for admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

He also indicated the possibility of a comprehensive review of the nation’s education policy.

However, Alausa made it clear that there would be no reversal of the Federal Government’s decision to invalidate over 22,700 degree certificates acquired by Nigerians from unrecognized universities in neighboring Togo and the Benin Republic.

Speaking at his inaugural ministerial press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, Alausa emphasized that practical education is key to tackling Nigeria’s unemployment crisis. He stated that tertiary institutions must stop producing graduates without ensuring job opportunities for them.

The minister also revealed plans for the federal government to partner with private sector players to provide training opportunities for students and help them realize their full potential.

Additionally, Alausa announced that universities focused on agriculture would be empowered to implement commercial farming practices as part of efforts to address the country’s food security challenges.
