Lagos State governor, Mr. Akinwumi Ambode, has directed that tomorrow’s thanksgiving service for the state’s 50th anniversary and second year anniversary of his administration earlier scheduled to hold at the Chapel of Christ the Light be moved to the Banquet Hall of Lagos House, Alausa.
The directive may not be unconnected to the outrage trailing the removal of the Presiding Chaplain of Chapel of Christ the Light, Venerable Femi Taiwo.
A statement by the state Ministry of Information and Strategy said: “A Special Thanksgiving Service, earlier scheduled for Chapel of Christ the Light, Alausa, will now be held at the Banquet Hall, Lagos House, Alausa, Ikeja on Sunday, May 28, 2017.” However, the actual reason for the relocation of the service was not stated in the statement.
The state government said the event was “to cap the series of activities for Lagos at 50 celebrations, as well as glorify the Almighty God for the second year anniversary of Akinwunmi Ambode’s administration in Lagos State.”
- It said the theme of the event, which is scheduled to commence at 10 am is: “Pressing on to Greater Heights,” adding that Pastor Mathew Ashimolowo would be the guest speaker.
