Former President Olusegun Obasanjo and the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, were among 100 personalities honoured on Sunday by the Cherubim and Seraphim (C&S) Church in commemoration of its centenary anniversary.

The honour was given to the personalities at the C&S Centenary Awards and Dinner held in Lagos.

The Chairman of the Awards Committee, Emmanuel Owomoyela, said at the event that the honour was to show appreciation for services and inspire greater works among the church members and the entire Nigerians.

Owomoyela described the C&S Church as unique, expressing confidence that its members would remain steadfast in the years to come.

“We want to inspire younger church workers to positively impact the society in the years to come,” he said.

He said that the centenary anniversary was remarkable and should elicit greater zeal to serve God.

According to him, the Moses Orimolade University project of the church at Omu Aran in Kwara needs to be completed.

“The church needs support of all to ensure that the university, to teach moral values, aside from others, begins academic session by 2026.

“As the church rewards its heroes and heroines, it is a springboard to leverage to be enlisted as a builder of the church,” he said. (NAN)
