 OLUOMO LAUDS ROLES OF RELIGIOUS BODIES IN PROMOTING NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

The Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Olakunle Oluomo, has lauded the role of religious bodies in the promotion of national unity and development, as their moral teachings have continued to reinforce patriotism and nation building.

Oluomo stated this while receiving the leadership of Cherubim and Seraphim Unification Church of Nigeria, led by its Supreme Head, Prophet Solomon Alao during a courtesy visit at the Assembly Complex, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.

The Speaker posited that religious leaders of Muslim and Christian faith in their respective capacity must continue to promote the teachings and other inter-religious activities that would strengthen the bonds of friendship and unity among residents to keep the country united.

Commending the administrative style of the Church's leadership for planning its 92nd annual general conference to be held in the State, Oluomo implored the clergy man to continue to offer prayers for the nation as it approaches the electioneering period.

Earlier in his address, Prophet Alao described the legislative arm as the hallmark of democracy, seeking sustained mutual relationship among arms of government, towards achieving national development for more prosperity for all citizenry. 

Alao stressed the importance of peaceful coexistence, unity and harmony as Nigeria remains a secular nation, with multiple ethnicities and religions, calling for more prayers to complement all development-focused policies of government at all levels.
