NCGF Annual General Meeting Ends

This year's annual general meeting of the Nigeria Christian Graduate Fellowship (NCGF) with the theme: “I have set before you an open Door” has ended in Ikot Ekpene with a call on the Christian believers to always make their requests known to God through prayer. The event which took place at the Conference Hall of Tropical Guest House, Ikot Ekpene had both members and non-members of the fellowship in attendance.
In his address, the Zonal Chairman of the Nigerian Christian Graduate Fellowship, Dr. Samuel Itina said that the NCGF is a non- profit making Christian, non-governmental organization (NGO) which was inaugurated as Nigerian fellowship in 1975 with the coming together of already existing city graduate fellowship, saying that NCGF is neither elitist nor does it segregate as some may be tempted to think, and enjoined the people that membership from all denominations to join the fellowship.
Dr Itina said that the uniqueness of the fellowship is in her membership composition and vision which include learning and training at postsecondary level to execute the unique vision God has bestowed on his children.
The speaker who harped on the prevailing insecurity in the country said that places of worship are no longer respected or hallowed as kidnappers and armed robbers visit the churches to wreak their havoc, adding that the Jos pogrom has introduced a different dimension to the insecurity in the country, which according to him has raised a lot of questions such as is there a planned jihad against Christians? Can we trust the Nation's security forces to defend us? And sympathized with the Christian folk in Jos who lost their dear ones and property and prayed that they remain strong in the faith, leaving vengeance to God, who he said at the right and appropriate time will judge every action of every man on earth irrespective of the person's religion.
