Pastor Adeboye Commissions UI's Zoological Garden, Donates N25m

The General Overseer (GO) of the Redeemed Christian Church of God
(RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye on Wednesday commissioned the Zoological
Garden of the University of Ibadan.

Adeboye, who was at the institution for his annual prayer programme,
prayed that God should make the garden a miracle centre for all
visitors.

Earlier, the Director of the zoological garden, Dr Mrs Morohunkeji
Olajumoke, commended Pastor Adeboye for responding to the call to
support plan to rejuvenate the garden by donating N25 million in two
tranches as his commitment to the project.

She described Adeboye's love for animals as "amazing."

Adeboye is among the top donors to the project. Others include
corporate organizations and individuals who donated cash, materials or
animals.

The cleric explained his love for animals, saying God created them
before man. He added that unlike man, animals are predictable.

Olajumoke said: "The zoo has been moved from obscurity to visibility
and greater patronage among other means through the renovation,
upgrading of facilities, acquisition of animals and by being
ICT-sensitive. With a new architectural design for the zoo, there have
been changes to different structures."

The Vice Chancellor of the university, Prof. Isaac Adewole, hailed the
priest for his special love for the entire university.

Adeboye was accompanied by some elders of the church including Felix
Ohiwerei and Prof. Fola Aboaba.
