Moved by the passion to lessen educational struggles and improve standards of education in Nigeria, Christ Apostolic Church First in Americas in conjunction with Goke Oyedeji Humanitarian Outreach, has shared educational materials worth 5 million naira each to twelve selected schools in Nigeria.
The event took place on Wednesday, October 2nd and Thursday, October 3rd. 2024 at the Subomi Balogun Hall, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Oyo State.
