River state governor, Nyesom Wike has commended the General Overseer of Salvation Ministries, Pastor David Ibiyeomie, for his contributions to the development of the state.
While inspecting the ongoing construction of Salvation Ministries Headquarters and the permanent site of its secondary school at Igwuruta, yesterday, Wike said giving back to society was vital to the empowerment of the less privileged.
The governor, who undertook a guided tour of the project by Pastor Ibiyeomie, urged other clerics to emulate him.
“If you don’t come in here, you will think it was just a church being built. But inside you find something more. Look at the school, it is a foundation for moral upbringing. See the facilities. Why would the children not be given the best. I want to encourage others to emulate what Pastor Ibiyeomie is doing to contribute to the development of the state. It is not just being a pastor,” the governor said.
In July, Pastor David Ibiyeomie completed home for the elderly his church in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The multi-million naira two story duplex which is located to No. 33 Harbour Road, Port Harcourt was handed over to Catholic Church.
“Salvation Ministries is committed to building a caring and loving society,” Pastor David Ibiyeomie had said.
The duplex with modern facilities was used to replace the dilapidated home for the elderly, situated at No. 33 Harbour Road, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria.
