It was another day of history today Thursday January 20, 2022 when the President of Christ Apostolic Church, Nigeria and Overseas, Pastor Samuel O. Oladele commissioned Prof. Femi Sonaike Journalism Building donated to Joseph Ayo Babalola University (JABU).

The building which is beside the College of Postgraduate Studies building was donated by the Vice Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Kola Sonaike.

While ministering at the programme, the Regional Superintendent of CAC Pearce Region, Pastor S.O. Aluko taking his text from Psalm 127 said the passage of the Bible is talking about God as the ultimate, God as the final in all situations and at all times. 

He noted that David was the one who thought he would build a wonderful edifice for God, he had everything to do it, including men and people in the neighborhood were ready to give him everything, but God told him He has not ordained him to do it. 

Pastor Aluko stated that the newly commissioned building has been in the bossom of God before we were born, but God knew this place would come into existence and God has prepared some people to do it. 

"Only what God builds that will have lasting values and direct relevance to the purpose of God. Don't do what you are not supposed to do. Don't go to places God never endorsed. We are not to work for God if He has not worked through us," he concluded.

The donor of the building, JABU's Vice Chancellor, Prof. Sonaike declared God as the donor of the building. 

He revealed that "my elder brother whom the building is named after was a Professor of Mass Communication, a product of University of Lagos (UNILAG) and one of the first set of Mass Communication at the school. He was sent to Houston Texas for his PhD through the scholarship he got from government."

While saying that God inspired him to erect the building and name it after his late brother, he added that "God is the achiever of this not me. A month ago I never thought this would be achieved. I thank God for the privilege and the leaders of the Church. 

The service had in attendance the President of Church, Pastor Samuel O. Oladele, General Superintendent, Pastor Emmanuel O. Odejobi, General Evangelist, Prophet Hezekiah O. Oladeji, General Secretary, Pastor Emmanuel E. Mapur, Finance Director, Pastor Johnson F. Omitinde, Missions Director, Pastor Caxton S. Fasuyi, Regional Superintendents and many others.
