Church to raise N100m for endowment, others

Chapel of the Healing Cross, a protestant/ecumenical chapel of the College of Medicine, Idi Araba, Lagos State, is set to raise N100m endowment for the three best graduating students from the college.
Chief Resident Minister, Rev. Tunde Osho, made this known at a press conference to herald the 50th anniversary of the interdenominational church.
Osho said beneficiaries would be drawn from the faculties of Medical Sciences, Clinical and Dental Sciences.
He said the money which would be raised through fundraising walk and banquet dinner would also be channelled into building of crèche for Lagos State University Teaching Hospital.
Chairman, Media Sub-Committee, Mr. Ladi Sole, added that the church would procure cardiograph machine to be used for diagnosing heart diseases at LUTH.
Sole said the church had as part of its corporate social responsibility been reaching out to homes, providing material, financial and professional support to people living with disabilities and mentally challenged persons.
“In our total wholeness clinic, medical facility is open to our immediate environment, especially our neighbours who are mainly Northern Muslims,” he said.
