Respite had come the way of Osun state workers as truck loads of food courtesy of the presiding bishop of Living Faith Church Worldwide (LFCW), Dr. David Oyedepo, have arrived in the state for distribution, The Punch reports.
This announcement was made by state pastor of LFCW, Olumuyiwa Emmanuel, on Wednesday July 15 at a mid-week service of the church in Osogbo.
Emmanuel said the donated food includes rice, tomato paste, vegetable oil and others will be distributed to church members and other residents of the state who are facing difficulty following months of unpaid salaries. He added that food will be distributed on Sunday July 19 after service.
Emmanuel said:“I am happy to announce to you that trailer load of rice, vegetable oil, tomato and other things sent by the bishop have arrived. The distribution will be done on Sunday.
“Invite your friends and neighbours, Christians and non Christians; everybody will be taken care of. We are blessed to be a blessing unto others. Bring people who need the food, young and old, all of them will be catered for. We have more than enough for everybody.”
Meanwhile, Oyedepo while speaking in Omu-Aran, Kwara State on Friday during the second convocation ceremony of Landmark University, frowned at the inability of Nigeria to achieve national food security.
He urged the country to take a clue from India, Malaysia and China who have all recorded economic transformation as result of their successful agricultural revolution.
The cleric added that these countries first conquered hunger before they moved to high tech industrial revolution.
It will be recalled that Christian Association of Nigeria in Osun state had last month appealed to church leaders and others to donate food and other items to the state workers who have been facing difficulty following several months of salaries owed them by the state government.
